Aromatically bright and expressive, with golden apple, yellow peach, and acacia blossom before revealing toasted hazelnut, crème fraîche, and crushed flint.
Palate
Sleek, opulent, and vibrant. Concentrated lemon curd and crisp pear weave into a fine mineral backbone, concluding on a persistent, citrus-laced finish.

In Detail
High-elevation walled lieu-dit planted in limestone-rich soils in northern Meursault
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur represents one of the most steadfast classicists in the Côte de Beaune, with roots in Meursault spanning over nine generations. Today led by François Bitouzet, the estate is celebrated for producing structured, uncompromisingly traditional wines that trade heavy oak influence for site precision and tension.
Sourced from 'Clos du Cromin'—a unique walled micro-parcel within the northern lieu-dit of Le Cromin—these old vines were planted in 1951 in deep clay-limestone soils. Elevated slightly higher than neighboring plots, this site yields Chardonnay with exceptional natural acidity, balancing classic Meursault richness with a taut, stone-driven backbone.
Matured for 16 months in French oak barrels with only 20 percent new wood, the 2019 vintage showcases the brilliance of a warm harvest tempered by Old World discipline. Radiant with ripe orchard fruit, hazelnut, and citrus intensity, this bottling delivers benchmark Meursault depth built for years of graceful cellaring.
