Bourgogne Rouge

Bitouzet's precise, poised Bourgogne Rouge comes from a hectare’s worth of Pinot Noir planted between 1963 and 1970 in the lieu-dit Petit Près, situated just below the villages-level Volnay vineyard Les Pasquiers near the Meursault border. Aged entirely in used barrels for 12 months, it presents its carefully rendered fruit in a straightforward and appealing fashion, albeit with an attractive underlying spice-tinged minerality.
