The Meursault Perrières Bitouzet Prieur 2016 is a notable representation of white Burgundy, sourced from the esteemed Premier Cru Les Perrières. Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, based in Volnay, is recognised for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods, particularly in their Meursault holdings, where they manage approximately 0.28 hectares in the Perrières-Dessous section. The vintage was influenced by spring frosts, leading to lower yields but resulting in wines marked by crisp acidity and defined minerality. This Perrières bottling, matured for 15-18 months in barrels (up to 20% new oak), hints at citrus notes, white floral aromas and a characteristic stony texture.

Vinous
(from vines planted in 1983, which Bitouzet described as my age): Pure but subdued nose hints at soft citrus zest, pineapple and more exotic fruits. Smooth in the mouth but less accessible and complex than the Charmes, more about liquid stone than fruit in the early going. Best today on the dry, minerally, rising finish. This Perrières boasts a suave texture but doesn't quite come alive like the Charmes.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2018
