Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru

les Combettes

The Combettes vineyard once labelled Meursault Combettes due to its stylistic similarity to Meursault's premier crus, now resides within Puligny-Montrachet. Mainly owned by Prieur de Meursault with nearly 2 hectares, and domain Ampeau of Meursault with 2/3 of a hectare, alongside smaller properties like Carillon and Sauzet. Combettes' soil, akin to Meursault's Charmes Dessus, boasts clay-limestone composition, rapid drainage, and eastern exposure. Producing intensely flavoured wines with a velvety texture, it ages gracefully, retaining its hawthorn bouquet and nuances of hazelnuts over decades.

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.
