Domaine Bitouzet Prieur Puligny Montrachet 2021

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 2021 vintage of Puligny-Montrachet Les Levrons is characterized by ripe apple and pear notes, along with a touch of lemon and hazelnut on the nose. The palate is fresh and lively, with a clean, mineral finish, reflecting the region's signature acidity and elegant fruit character. This wine offers excellent tension and will benefit from further aging, allowing the flavours to integrate and develop​.

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.
