Description

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault 1er Cru 'Santenots' 2023This unique premier cru sits right on the border of Meursault and Volnay; white wines from here are labeled Meursault, and red wines Volnay, and Francois owns a fifth of a hectare of Chardonnay in the steep Santenots Blanc climat, planted in the early 1970s. The plots soils of Bathonian limestone and brown scree produce a broad, powerful wine that combines rich body and punchy minerality in an impressively dynamic whole. This passes 16 months in about

Neumeister’s Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) forcefully demonstrates the minerality these steep Styrian hillsides can foster

The palate is ample and concentrated

and dusty earth with light dried rose petals

mouthwateringly dry

situated immediately above Les Charmes on the slope

Sébastien named this cuvée in honor of his ancestors

The “clos” is 1

Showing impressive elegance for a skin-contact white

it offers spectacular balance and poise on its relatively broad frame

from various holdings in the grand crus Avize and Oger

the wine ultimately feels devoid of artifice
