Volnay 1er Cru Mitans

Bitouzet has a 0.13-hectare sliver of vines that were planted in 1991 in the En l’Ormeau section of Les Mitans, which is situated towards the center of the appellation. The 2005 vintage was the first release of this wine from newly accessed vineyards, and in tribute to our long and close relationship, the Bitouzets have allotted the entire production (three barrels) to us for the US market. A classic Volnay with breed and finesse supported by a sturdy backbone. Firm and dark in fruit character, it offers a lurking mineral-driven power and a counterbalancing floral element.
