Corton Clos du Roi

With vines over 55 years old, Clos du Roi spans 10.74 hectares, forming an almost perfect rectangle facing east on a firm slope between 270.04 and 320.52 meters. Its Bathonian soil, rich in iron oxide and composed of crumbling lava, imparts a rugged, athletic nature to the wines, reminiscent of Volnay's Champans or Pommard's Rugiens, with more pronounced dark fruitiness and an even stronger sense of fullness at times. Production ranges from 300 to 900 bottles per 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.
