Bitouzet-Prieur, Pinot Noir, Bourgogne Rouge, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France 2023

Bitouzet Prieur's precise, poised Bourgogne Rouge comes from a single vineyard — a lieu-dit called Petit Près situated immediately below village-level Volnay turf on the slope. With no new wood, it presents its carefully rendered fruit in a straightforward and appealing fashion, albeit with an attractive underlying spice-tinged minerality.
