2022 Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay

品飲筆記：這款2022沃爾奈散發亮麗的紅果香，櫻桃與帶皮柑橘的香氣逃不掉，還有一抹烤麵包皮的溫暖氣息。口感中等酒體，細緻滑順的單寧包裹鮮明酸度，果實與微妙的土壤、菇類風味相互呼應，尾韻緊緻而悠長，現在喝已相當和諧，未來還會更柔和。

酒莊與製程：Bitouzet-Prieur 為家族經營，由 Vincent 與 François Bitouzet 領導，遵循勃根地的傳統工法，重視產地的獨特風味。釀造上採取溫和的接觸與發酵管理，使用法國橡木桶陳年以支撐酒體，但不搶果味，強調精緻和平衡。

葡萄園特色：來自沃爾奈的精選園塊，石灰質黏土土壤、良好排水與有利坡向讓葡萄成熟均衡。葡園管理注重品質與產量控制，成熟度與風土表現兼具，造就優雅而有層次的酒款。整體喝起來輕盈中帶深度，很適合搭配蘑菇、烤鴨或帶香料的肉類。

Tasting note: Bright, refined and typically Volnay — the 2022 presents effusive aromas of sour cherry, candied orange and a warm note of toasted baguette. On the palate it is medium-bodied with silky, gentle tannins and lively acidity that frames layers of red fruit, a hint of orange peel and subtle earthiness. The finish is long and tightly wound, promising further harmony with a little cellaring.

Producer notes: Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is a family-run domaine led by Vincent and François Bitouzet. Working within the classic Côte de Beaune tradition, the domaine focuses on expressing site character and purity, producing wines that balance precision with approachable charm.

Winemaking notes: Grapes are handled with careful, light extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Fermentation and elevage follow a restrained approach — time in French oak followed by careful blending — intended to support rather than dominate the fruit, resulting in a wine of finesse and clarity.

Vineyard notes: Sourced from Volnay parcels on gently sloping, limestone-rich soils with good drainage and favorable exposures. Low yields and attentive viticulture enhance concentration and aromatic definition while retaining the region’s hallmark elegance and feminine silhouette.
