Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Bourgogne Rouge

In a world of fruity and insipid Bourgogne Rouges, Vincent’s stands in stark contrast. It actually comes from a 1.2 hectare single vineyard that was planted between 1963 and 1970. If you took a few steps north, you’d be in Volnay and the price would double.

This wine delivers all of the elegance and complexity that Bitouzet-Prieur’s reds are known for. Translated, it smells and tastes really good. Boasting a deeper color than most entry level Red Burgundies, this one delivers the goods and then some. The nose showcases ripe notes of dark cherry, raspberry, damp earth, and complex spices, but it doesn’t stop there. The palate continues the joy ride with silky tannin and a seamless and elegant personality.
