2019 Volnay, Pitures, 1er Cru, Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, Burgundy

Description

Pitures is François’s only Volnay from the north of the village. It’s a higher vineyard close to Pommard and stylistically very different; François refers to it as a distant cousin. Certainly, there’s a Pommardian dash about the wine, with a sturdiness and more pronounced tannins. In 2019, it works really well, with the deeper creases seemingly ironed out.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 90-93/100
A background touch of toasted wood combines with notes of the cool essence of red berries, earth and pretty floral nuances. The delicious and intense bigger-bodied flavors also possess evident minerality and focused power that seems to build from the mid-palate to the impressively lengthy finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is a big wine that should also age effortlessly for at least a decade and 15+ years would not be especially surprising.Drink 2031+allen_meadows, burghound_com (April 2021)

Grown on white marl at the northern (Pommard) end of Volnay, so placed last in tasting order for its additional tannins. Indeed, it tastes midway between a Volnay and a Pommard. Fine red crimson colour. The nose betrays a light reduction. This has impressive substance, good acidity, light blood orange notes perhaps from the reduction. Good persistence.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com (December 2020)

The 2019 Volnay Les Pitures 1er Cru is perhaps missing the same cohesion as the Les Caillerets or Taillepieds on the nose. There is an attractive marine/oyster shell influence at play, though it comes across a bit subdued at present. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, good grip with a masculine, structured finish that is very tight and laconic at the moment. Somehow, a bit aloof?Neil Martin, Vinous.com
