Vincent Bitouzet has been in partnership with famed importer Neil Rosenthal for over 30 years, bringing classic, old-school Burgundy to wine lovers in the U.S. His great-great-grandfather established the domaine, and when Vincent married Anne Prieur she brought along her own family history of winemaking along with significant vineyard holdings. Today the domaine is about 12 hectares in Volnay and Meursault.

All of the Bitouzet-Prieur vineyards are farmed organically. Copper is kept to a minimum and sexual confusion is employed to reduce insect infestations. winemaking is very traditional, native yeast fermentation and aging in mostly used barrique.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

Les Mitans is situated towards the center of the appellation and is a classic Volnay with breed and finesse supported by a sturdy backbone. In tribute to our long and close relationship, the Bitouzets have allotted the entire production (three barrels) to us for the US market, as Bitouzet only has a 0.13-hectare sliver of vines that were planted in 1991 in the En l’Ormeau section of Les Mitans. Firm and dark in fruit character, it offers a lurking mineral-driven power and a counterbalancing floral element.
