Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru le Cailleret

This unique cru blends the finesse of Pucelles from Puligny-Montrachet with the restrained power of true Montrachet, enchanting with floral notes and a simultaneously sleek yet densely textured palate. Delighted to vinify it since 2013, the domain produces one to two barrels annually of this elite cru from just over ten ares. Yields range from 30 to 45 hectoliters per hectare, with manual harvesting and grape sorting at the vineyard table. Subsequent pneumatic pressing and static settling precede barrel aging, with 30% new wood, and bottling after a light fining process.

Buisson Charles’s others cuvées

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.
