Volnay 1er Cru Champans

Situated on a sheltered mid-slope facing east, the climate's marly-limestone soil, marked by ferruginous oolite, rests atop a mother-of-pearl slab. Resurging from the Middle Jurassic era, it extends into Caillerets and Santenots, distinct from Pommard due to its geological complexity. Despite its slope rising noticeably from the middle, it lacks subzones, as many parcels traverse the hill. The wine originates from the northern end, near the village and Chapelle du bas de Volnay, benefiting from a slight plateau that enhances solar absorption, enriching the grapes.

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.
