Bourgogne Aligoté

Sous le Chemin "Hors Classe"

This Aligoté is grown in Meursault's "Sous le Chemin," made remarkable wine in 2019, prompting the domain to isolate the vineyard's oldest section from the 1950s. These vines naturally develop a golden hue at ripeness, yielding highly concentrated grapes. From this 26 ares plot, they craft around 1500 bottles, embodying Meursault's terroir. Named "Hors Classe," inspired by 19th-century Burgundian classifications, it adheres to strict guidelines: manual harvest, in-field sorting, whole-cluster pressing, low yields, natural alcohol, wood fermentation and ageing, and bottling without fining or filtration.

Buisson Charles’s others cuvées

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.
