The Character
Tasting Notes Aromatic layers of red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, complemented by notes of violets, forest floor, and subtle spice from oak aging. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and a minerally undertone. The fruit core is precise and harmonious, with earthy and floral nuances that enhance its complexity.

The Story
Bitouzet’s exemplary Volnay comes from 2.2 hectare’s worth of holdings planted between 1961 and 2003 in three sites: Les Petits Gamets, Ez Echards, and the villages-level portion of Les Aussy. Aged for 16 months in a modest 10% new oak, it is of a piece with the domaine’s loftier premier cru cuvées, emphasizing impeccable purity of fruit and haunting balance, and underpinned by enough structure to allow for gradual and striking improvement in the cellar.
