Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, Chardonnay 2023 Burgundy, France

François Bitouzet continues the legacy begun when his parents Vincent and Anne united their family vineyards from Volnay and Meursault in the mid-20th century. Now working from a state-of-the-art winery in Meursault, this sixth-generation winemaker crafts wines that punch well above their weight class, earning praise from critics like Neal Martin who describes the domaine as being 'on fire recently.'

Tasting Notes

A perfumed nose reveals hints of yellow plum, pear and apple compote, with subtle tea and brioche notes. The succulent, round palate offers a caressing, mouth-coating texture while maintaining beautiful freshness and fine acidity. Delicate floral scents interweave with zesty citrus and a distinctive pronounced salinity that speaks to its Meursault terroir, finishing clean with a pop of bright citrus and gentle mineral tension.

Food Pairings

Roasted chicken with herbs, grilled sea bass with lemon, creamy goat cheese, seared scallops with butter sauce
