Meursault Les Tessons

The lieu-dit «Tessons » is arguably the finest lieu-dit classified as AOC village in Meursault. Positioned on a perfectly drained, gravelly, east-facing slope, its slightly reddish clay-limestone soil, due to the presence of ferruginous oolite, lends wines remarkable power alongside immediate aromatic allure. Primed for long ageing, it also offers enjoyment in its youth. With 34 ares of this terroir, Domain Buisson Charles often regards it as on par with the premier crus they produce, particularly in early years, where its extraordinary tactile texture shines. It bears a clear resemblance to the neighbouring Goutte d'Or.

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.
