The sole red offering from this domaine outside of Volnay is the Beaune 1er Cru Cents-Vignes which is also perhaps the most charming red wine of the estate. It shows this appellation's typical soft tannins and gracious red cherry fruit; supple, silky, and fine with excellent balance and beautifully ripe fruit. The Bitouzets own 1.26 hectares of vines here which were planted in 1987 and 1988.

The 2019 Beaune Les Cents-Vignes 1er Cru comes from a single parcel of 1.25-hectares. It has a pleasant bouquet with floral red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, a hint of rose petal lending complexity. There is fine delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy, fleshy red fruit. Rounded and malleable in texture, plush in style with a sweet finish, this is one of the more approachable Beaune Premier Crus that should drink well after two or three years in bottle.
