Description: The Bitouzet-Prieur family name came together later when the family of Jacques Prieur, famous generational wine producer united with the Bitouzet family from Paris-Hôpital in 1860. Vincent Bitouzet’s ancestral roots in Burgundy cover the last two centuries and the Bitouzets were one of the first of the family domaines in this region to bottle their wines. Vincent’s grandfather had already garnered medals for his winemaking talents in 1860 and when Vincent met his wife, Annie Prieur, they brought about a “merger” of the Bitouzet and Prieur family holdings to create a domaine of distinction. Today, Francois Bitouzet, is now in charge of the operation.
