2021 Volnay, Clos des Chênes, 1er Cru, Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, Burgundy

Description

Half a hectare here is equally split between the vineyard’s upper and lower sections, with plots planted in 1981, 1986 and 1996. The bouquet is very fine and quite punchy. The palate is suave, although not as fulsome as the Caillerets or Taillepieds. But there is good intensity here, with a touch of delicacy.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100

A darker crimson colour. The nose is rather backward, a little firm and ungiving. Then a relatively full mouthful with firm tannins and some acidity at the back. This will take a little while to resolve but will deliver a medium-bodied, balanced, Clos des Chênes at the end. This was racked a week later than the others and that could explain the slightly more dour character on today’s tasting.

Drink 2028 - 2033
