Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur’s **Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds 2022** is a finely pitched Burgundy with a fragrant core of **red cherry, plum, violet, and spice**. It shows the appellation’s signature **silky texture** while keeping a firmer, more mineral edge than many Volnays, with chalky tannins and good length. The wine feels precise and youthfully taut rather than lush, so it should gain extra nuance with a few years in bottle. In style, it can recall the poise and lift of a classic **Volnay** from a top site, with a touch of Taillepieds’ stonier seriousness.

Serve it with **roast duck, lamb, or mushroom risotto**.
