2017 Bitouzet Prieur Volnay 1er Caillerets

Like the Mitans, there is enough reduction present to push the spicy dark berry fruit and soft wood nuances to the background and I would suggest a thorough aeration if you're tempted to crack a bottle young. The supple and delicious if slightly less mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors possess a sleek mouth feel before concluding in a dusty, sappy and youthfully austere finale that is lovely if not quite as tightly wound.
