Meursault Vieilles Vignes

The estate's Meursault "village" is a blend of six parcels, sourced from old vines over 45 years old. These parcels, spanning over two hectares surrounding the village, offer diverse terroirs. Slope-grown vines like Vireuils and Meix Chavaux provide freshness, while those near the premiers crus, such as Marcausses, Vignes Blanches, and Pellans, impart body. The Millerands parcel on gravel adds finesse. Always highly concentrated, the domain's Meursault Vieilles Vignes requires bottle ageing for full expression. Vinified and aged exclusively in 228-liter barrels, around 20% new.

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.
