Welcome 2017 with Classic White Burgundy!
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur

There is perhaps no other Burgundy producer who continues to follow the old traditions of making white Burgundy more than Bitouzet. A committed classicist, Vincent Bitouzet's ancestral roots in Burgundy span the last two centuries. Classic Burgundian vinification is practiced. Only indigenous yeasts are used. The whites are fermented and aged in barrel. There is extensive lees contact to develop richness and complexity. Usually not more than 20% of the cuvée will be exposed to new oak. In a perfect world, these are wines for the cellar. In the real world, these are wines which at least need a good decanting before being brought to the table.
Magnums 2013 Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault Premier Cru “Charmes”

$168 magnum

Perhaps the Gem of the Domaine. Together with the “Perrieres” this wine sits at the top echelon of white Burgundy. The racy 2013 vintage keeps the “Charmes” firm and focused, with intense mineral and gun-flint on the nose. Very floral and racy fruit, with a fine silky texture.
Only 36 magnums available for the USA.
2013 Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault Premier Cru "Perrieres”

$85 bottle

There is perhaps no white Burgundy which can stand the test of time better than Bitouzet’s Mersault “Perrieres”. The 2013 is straight as an arrow, focused and firm, with a tonic quality to the finish. This wine is dense and long on the palate and asks for the time to truly express its potential.
