Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru

The Grand Cru Chapelle-Chambertin spans 5.48 hectares on a gently sloping terrain facing east, among the sunniest and earliest ripening areas in Gevrey. Its soil, composed of white limestone scree, ensures optimal drainage, with some rocky outcrops at higher elevations. However, lower sections tend to be more clayey, imparting a touch of severity to the wine, contrasting with its typically refined and terroir-driven character. Planted in 1962 and 1970, it yields 300 to 600 bottles annually, cultivated through organic and biodynamic practices, with full soil tillage and yields ranging from 30 to 45 hectoliters per hectare.

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.
