Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru

Spanning 17.42 hectares, unofficially the largest cru in the Côte de Beaune, Corton offers accessibility with its widespread distribution. Facing due east above Maréchaudes, its terrain comprises ferruginous, rocky soil rich in potash, promoting rapid drainage to prevent water saturation in the fruit. With an average altitude of 260 meters, it boasts a potential for a refined, fragrant wine style. Cultivated organically, with yields capped at 35 hl per hectare, manual harvesting, pneumatic pressing, and 30% new oak barrel ageing contribute to a production of 600 to 900 bottles per vintage.

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.
