Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur 2020 - Meursault Les Corbins
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur - Chardonnay 2020 [La Côte de Beaune, Meursault, France].
This domaine is runned by father & son (François & Vincent). They strive to set the highest standards for themselves & their consumers. They think that a 'grand vin' (an amazing wine) is born from perfectly mature & healthy grapes. The team of domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is working very hard to achieve this objective. E.g. they prohibit the use of chemical weed killers as they want to work on the soil naturally.
François Bitouzet : ' Whether the vineyard or the cellar, nothing is handled systematically. We watch, monitor, taste, discuss & make good decisions in each case '. They are truly perfectionists.
