Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or

The small Goutte d'Or vineyard spans just over five hectares, and while its name is famous for its pleasing sound, it is rarely encountered on tables worldwide because fewer than 60,000 bottles are produced each year for the entire cru. Domaine Buisson-Charles exploits 26 ares located right in the middle of the climate; the rows cut across the entire cru from top to bottom, and, facing due east, they benefit from ideal sunlight exposure, which protects them from excessive heat

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.
