Tasting note
品飲筆記:酒鼻明亮,先是檸檬皮與白桃的清新果香,隨之帶出細緻花香與烤杏仁、輕柔香草烘焙氣息。入口奶油感豐滿但不膩,鮮明酸度拉出結構,礦感與一抹鹹味貫穿中段,尾韻延展優雅。 酒莊介紹:Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur 由 Vincent 與 François Bitouzet 維持家族經營,專注於小產量與呈現田地個性,是默索名產區長期耕作的製酒者。 釀造與田間作業:果實以人工採收,輕柔壓榨後在法國橡木桶中發酵與熟成,採用部分新桶以建立骨架,並透過陳年與少量攪桶累積細緻口感。田間重視修剪與限定產量,使果實集中、風土表現清晰。 整體感受:質地豐厚又保有明快酸度,既適合搭配奶油或焗烤料理,也能單獨品飲細細品味礦物與烘焙層次。
Tasting note: Bright and inviting on the nose with lemon zest, white peach and delicate floral lift, layered over toasted hazelnut and gentle vanilla spice. On the palate it shows a plush, creamy texture with lively acidity that keeps the richness poised; a flinty, saline thread threads through the mid-palate leading to a long, elegant finish. Producer notes: Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is run by Vincent and François Bitouzet, a family domaine in Meursault known for low-yield, vineyard-focused wines that express site character. The Perrières bottling is one of their flagship parcels — meticulously tended and picked for optimal ripeness. Winemaking notes: Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently; fermentation and élevage take place mainly in French oak barrels with a portion of newer wood to add structure, while lees contact and light bâtonnage build creaminess and depth. Malolactic fermentation is typically carried through to round acidity without overwhelming freshness. Vineyard notes: Les Perrières sits on shallow limestone soils with a distinct minerality and good drainage. Vine ages and careful canopy management yield concentrated fruit and a fine balance of power and finesse that’s typical of top Meursault parcels. Serve slightly chilled after brief aeration; best enjoyed with rich seafood or classic cream-based dishes.
