2018 Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay 1er Cru Pitures

來自 Bitouzet-Prieur 的 Pitures 一級園，2018 年展現出沃爾奈典雅而細膩的一面。杯中有清新的紅櫻桃與野莓，夾帶玫瑰花瓣的香氣和泥土、林下菇類的幽雅氣息。酒體中等偏輕，口感滑順，酸度提亮整體，單寧細緻如絲，尾韻帶點礦質與溫和香料。酒莊在田間很注重人工採收與地塊選擇，葡萄園座落於排水良好的石灰岩地帶，釀造時採低干預手法：溫和破皮、部分整串發酵與適度法國橡木陳年，強調果味純淨而非重木味。適合先醒45分鐘左右再飲，搭配烤鴨、菇類或鄉村料理最對味。

This 2018 from Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur's Pitures Premier Cru shows the polished, ethereal side of Volnay: bright red cherry and raspberry weave with rose petal and a delicate thread of forest floor and mushroom. Medium-bodied and finely textured, the palate is lifted by fresh acidity and silky tannins, leading to a refined, lingering finish with gentle mineral and spice notes. Producer notes point to meticulous vineyard work on well-drained limestone soils and traditional Burgundian winemaking — hand-harvested fruit, gentle whole-cluster handling on selected parcels, and careful ageing in French oak to preserve purity rather than oak dominance. The result is an elegant, food-friendly wine that rewards modest decanting and pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom dishes and classic bistro fare.
