Domaine Bitouzet Prieur

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is a 13-hectare family estate in Volnay, managed by Vincent Bitouzet, with holdings across several of the appellation's premier cru vineyards and into Meursault for white wines. The estate produces both red and white Burgundy at premier cru and village level, with the Volnay Taille Pieds averaging $195 across 35 lots as the flagship red—one of Volnay's most esteemed premier cru sites for its power and longevity relative to the appellation's typically delicate style. Les Caillerets at $239 across 14 lots is the highest-priced wine, consistent with that vineyard's reputation as Volnay's finest premier cru. The village Volnay at $85 average accounts for 75 lots, the largest individual wine in the auction record. Meursault Premier Cru Charmes at $102 average documents the estate's white wine activity from one of Meursault's most hedonistic premier cru sites. The Pitures premier cru at $71 provides additional village-level premier cru access. Portfolio maximum of $923 reflects exceptional vintages of Les Caillerets or large formats. At 191 lots averaging $115, Bitouzet-Prieur is positioned as a quality-focused Volnay specialist offering genuine premier cru character at prices accessible to collectors who cannot secure allocations from the appellation's most celebrated names.

Les Caillerets averages $239 across 14 lots—the portfolio's price leader—consistent with Volnay's most highly regarded premier cru vineyard, which commands premiums across all producers who hold parcels there.
Taille Pieds, one of Volnay's premier crus known for producing wines of unusual power and longevity for the appellation, averages $195 across 35 lots, making it the most frequently traded premium wine in the Bitouzet-Prieur range.
The 13-hectare estate spans both red (Volnay) and white (Meursault Charmes premier cru) appellations, a breadth unusual for a Volnay-focused domaine and a quality indicator given Meursault Charmes' reputation.
Village Volnay at $85 average accounts for 75 of 191 auction lots, providing the volume base for the portfolio while the premier cru wines—ranging from $71 (Pitures) to $239 (Caillerets)—carry the per-bottle price premium.

In the Glass

Bitouzet-Prieur's Volnay premier crus show the appellation's characteristic elegance: red cherry, strawberry, violet, and earthy mushroom notes on a medium-bodied frame with bright acidity and silky tannins. Taille Pieds adds a structural depth and firmness unusual for Volnay. Les Caillerets delivers the greatest precision and mineral length. Meursault Charmes is rich and buttery with stone fruit and hazelnut from the appellation's limestone marl soils.
