Domaine Bitouzet Prieur Puligny Montrachet 2022

The Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Puligny-Montrachet is a refined white wine from the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy, France, specifically from the renowned Puligny-Montrachet appellation, known for producing some of the finest Chardonnays in the world. This wine is sourced from the Les Levrons vineyard, a small plot planted with old vines dating back to 1955, which provides the wine with great depth and complexity. The region’s limestone-rich soils impart a distinctive minerality to the wine, which is complemented by the area's cool climate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop excellent acidity and fresh flavours.​

Made from Chardonnay grapes, the wine showcases a typically elegant and restrained Puligny-Montrachet style. It was fermented using natural yeasts, and the wine's aging process enhances its balance and texture. After fermentation, the wine was aged in oak barrels, contributing a subtle layer of complexity without overwhelming the purity of the fruit​.

The 2022 vintage of Puligny-Montrachet Les Levrons is characterized by aromas of wild meadow flowers, evoking the freshness and refinement typical of the appellation. On the palate, the wine displays remarkable structure and linearity, supported by a firm mineral backbone. Layers of stone fruit, including peaches and apricots, intertwine with vibrant citrus notes of lemon and orange, adding complexity and depth.

The bright acidity and mineral qualities of this Puligny-Montrachet make it a perfect match for dishes such as grilled seafood, roast chicken, or creamy mushroom risotto. Its subtle oak influence also complements rich dishes like lobster bisque or goat cheese.
