Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru 2021

With slightly less structure but at the same time slightly silkier than Taillepieds, this is an excellent example of a sophisticated Volnay from this prime plot. The nose is somewhat closed, but the palate is brilliant with rich red berries, silky, caressing tannins and a crisp, precise, lingering finish.
