Bourgogne Aligoté Sous le Chemin

This Aligoté is cultivated on a 46-ares plot in Meursault's "Sous le Chemin." Grown in rich clay-limestone soil with vines over 45 years old, it exhibits remarkable concentration and unexpected power for its varietal. Reflecting Meursault's terroir, it undergoes 12 months in barrels and 3 to 5 months in stainless steel tanks for freshness and refinement. Bottled after light fining, it promises purity and finesse, evolving gracefully for over 15 years while delivering intense fruitiness in its youth.

Domaine Buisson Charles

Meursault

Established in the middle of the 20th century, the domain is located in Meursault and has been managed since 2001 by Catherine and Patrick Buisson.

The Buisson-Charles domain is of modest size - 6.3 hectares, including 4 hectares of Meursault village and Meursault premiers crus in diverse climates.

It is complemented by its ownership of plots in Volnay and Pommard, as well as its négoce activity with Corton and Chambertin for red wines, and Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Chablis Premier Cru and Grand Cru, Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru, and Corton-Charlemagne for white wines. 

Even though Catherine and Patrick are managing the estate, they also have the privilege of seeing their son Louis return to the operation after obtaining his degree in winemaking engineering.

There is no doubt that he will be called upon to succeed his parents in the years to come. 2019 is the first vintage that he has entirely vinified.
