A marriage of two historic families yields a classic, structured white from a top village plot
This is the smartest buy in Meursault right now: a wine sourced from a plot that physically touches the famous Premier Cru Les Santenots yet remains priced like a village bottle. While neighbors are charging double for grapes grown just meters away, the "Les Corbins" lieu-dit offers that same deep, clay-driven power and richness that defines the best of Meursault, making it a favorite among somms looking for value.
The Bitouzet family has been in Burgundy since 1804, and their marriage into the Prieur family created a lineage that refuses to chase trends. Vincent Bitouzet farms this plot organically (though uncertified) and favors a traditional style—wines with broad shoulders and grip rather than the "matchstick" reduction fashionable today. The warm 2020 vintage amplified the vineyard’s natural richness, resulting in a bottle that feels substantial and profound, easily mistakable for a Premier Cru in a blind tasting.
