Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is a Domaine run by Vincent Bitouzeau and Annie Prieu, a family with a deep Burgundian roots. The Bitouzet family have been making wine in Volnay ever since M. Guillote, Vincent’s great-great grandfather, stablished in Burgundy back in the 1800s. Annie Prieu’s wine pedigree is just as impressive with her family making wine for centuries in Meursault and Ladoix. Nowadays Vincent and Annie are perpetuating the tradition by passing the family wine heritage onto their son, Francois Bitouzet.

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur’s style is classic, producing wines with impeccable structure and delicate finesse, with a remarkable capability of aging for decades with elegance and grace. Their wines are crafted with great respect for the land, embracing the unique characteristics of each Lieu-Dit, with a very rigorous approach to organic viticulture, and a low-intervention philosophy in the cellar.  

Les Mitans, the most recent addition to the line up of Bitouzet’s Premier Crus,  is located near the center of the appellation. This wine is elegant and expressive, this Volnay offers a beautiful bouquet of red berries, floral notes, and a touch of spice. The palate is layered with red cherry, raspberry, and a fine mineral edge. Soft tannins and a long finish give it a refined and balanced structure, making it a classic representation of Volnay’s finesse.
