Corton Blanc Grand Cru

"Le Clos des Chaumes"

Since 2011, the domain has expanded its offerings to include the opportunity to vinify and age the wonderful Clos des Chaumes, entitled to the Corton Blanc Grand Cru appellation. Situated just below the famed original Clos Charlemagne, it overlooks an ancient quarry and basks in a southern exposure, ensuring optimal ripeness. With vine rows oriented east to west on a gentle slope, the vines absorb the full essence of this lower hillside. These wines are characterized by their generosity and fullness, maintaining the natural richness of Chardonnay without sacrificing vibrancy. Production began with the 2018 vintage.

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.
