Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets

The 7.91-hectare Frémiets climate yields some of Volnay's most delicate and subtle wines. Situated above the path to Fremiers and Jarollières of Pommard, its slope steepens, soil losing clay richness and lightening as it ascends. Sheltered but less sunny than below, it boasts denser stone concentrations amidst marly limestone. Numerous plots intersect this slope longitudinally, benefiting from its soil complexity. Wines from here are often more tense and lively, preserving exceptional elegance and character. The domain's 25 ares of vines originate from this sector.

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.
