Meursault 1er Cru Bouches-Chères

Nestled adjacent to Goutte d'Or on an east-facing slope stretching towards Poruzots and Genevrières, Bouchères is a hidden gem among Meursault's premier crus. Its steep, gravelly, clay-limestone soil produces wines with an ethereal quality reminiscent of upper Genevrières or lower Chevalier-Montrachet. Despite their delicate nature, Bouchères wines boast surprising ageing potential, with some bottles from the 1950s and 1960s still showing pristine condition. The domain labels its wines as Bouches-Chères, a term echoing the 19th-century nomenclature.

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.
