Perhaps the consistently greatest white wine from the Bitouzet-Prieur domaine, the “Perrieres” is firmly mineral, quite spicy and more elegant than the Charmes; a great wine of class and breed with remarkable density and a wine of extraordinary potential. Two barrels are reserved for the US market; magnums are always drawn for our use and double magnums are also prepared on occasion. The Bitouzets own 0.28 hectares of vines here in the part of the vineyard known as “Perrieres Dessous” and their vines were planted in 1983.
According to the winemaker “A fresh nose, fainter yellow fruit, more mineral. Much more overt freshness and intensity vs the Charmes – mineral and persistent, direct and really very complex in the finish – oh, and ultra long. This is super stuff!”
