Bourgogne Pinot Noir Côte d'Or

"Hautes Coutures"

This Bourgogne Rouge is crafted from two distinct parcels of Pinot Noir vines, each over 50 years old. Situated in Puligny-Montrachet's Champans (32 ares) and Meursault's Hautes Coutures or Grandes Coutures (45 ares), they undergo barrel ageing following premier cru quality standards, with 30% whole bunches. This approach yields an approachable, flavorful wine that can be enjoyed young, yet its rich texture and concentrated tannins ensure it can mature gracefully for over a decade. Since the 2016 vintage, the labels state Côte d'Or name on its label.

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.
