WINE DESCRIPTION
The Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay 1er Cru 'Mitans' is a classic expression of this renowned Premier Cru vineyard in Volnay, located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, this wine embodies the elegance and finesse for which Volnay is celebrated. The 'Mitans' vineyard, characterized by its stony, limestone-rich soils, imparts a distinctive minerality and vibrancy to the wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Volnay 1er Cru 'Mitans' opens with delicate aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a touch of sweet baking spice.On the palate, it offers a silky texture, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained tannins, weaving together flavors of red currants, cranberry, and hints of forest floor. The wine's balance and structure suggest excellent aging potential, rewarding cellaring for 8–12 years. Ideal pairings include roast duck, mushroom risotto, or soft-ripened cheeses.
