Bitouzet works a 0.71-hectare parcel of vines in the lieu-dit Les Herbeaux in northern Meursault, adjacent to premier cru Les Malpoiriers, and planted in the early 1950s (with a portion replanted in 2010). Aged 12 months on its fine lees in 228-liter barrels, a maximum of 15% of which are new, the domaine's Bourgogne Blanc presents as a Meursault in miniature, with sneaky power, pronounced salinity, and a tightly coiled structure that rewards a few years of cellaring.
Vinous
- v86-88
The 2020 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which comes from two parcels, offers primal grapefruit and leesy scents on the nose. The palate is well balanced, again, quite leesy with fine acidity and a slither of tangerine on the finish.
