François Bitouzet
" Exigeants François et Vincent Bitouzet le sont. "
PERFECTION
If one word were to sum up Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, it would be this one, without a shadow of doubt.
“We strive to set the highest standards for ourselves and our shippers”, comments François Bitouzet, having joined the family business in September 2005, and knowing all too well about what he speaks, and knowing all too well what he is talking about.
It is François who is not only responsible for having adopted agriculture raisonnée, but for also introducing some other evolutionary changes. Conscious that a Grand Vin is born from perfectly mature and healthy grapes, François and his team work tirelessy to achieve this objective.
This requires not only adhering to rigorously controlled yields, but in also pursuing the agro-biological impetus started by Vincent, his father, which involves respecting the terroir by prohibiting the use of chemical weed-killers and thus returning to working the soil naturally.
Meticulous care is applied at each stage of vinification, right up to bottling, because “every detail counts”. Particular care is applied at the time of nurturing and vinification is applied to each cuvée which do not all follow the same route to bottle.
“Whether in the vineyard or the cellar, nothing is handled systematically. We watch, monitor, taste, discuss and make the appropriate decisions in each case”. François and Vincent Bitouzet truly are perfectionists.
