Domaine Buisson-Charles — Meursault
This tiny 12 acre domaine is run by Michel Buisson, with his daughter Catherine and son-in-law Patrick Essa, the 4th generation to exploit these gorgeous holdings in Meursault. Vines are over 100 years old in some parcels. The wines are concentrated, classic, rich, and long – and they are flat-out built to age.. The Meursault Vielles Vignes is from vines averaging 65+ years of age. Production of the 1er Crus is miniscule – a scant few barrels of Goutte d’Or, Charmes, Bouches-Chères and Les Cras.

2007 Meursault Vieilles Vignes $45 >>
- A ripe and very Meursault nose features notes of honeysuckle, hazelnut and fresh citrus that continues onto the rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that retain a fine sense of underlying detail and solid acid support, all wrapped in a balanced, energetic and perfumed finish. Lovely.
2007 Meursault Goutte d’Or 1er Cru $69 >>
- This is slightly riper but more elegant with a subtle touch of spice adding depth to the citrus, apricot and fresh peach aromas that leads to detailed, lemony and more obviously mineral suffused flavors that possess excellent complexity on the driving finish. This is at another level.
2007 Meursault Bouches-Chères 1er Cru $69 >>
- An expressive nose of high-toned white peach, citrus and pear aromas are nuanced by subtle notes of hazelnut and orange blossom that give way to rich, full, textured and mouth coating flavors that evidence a silky mouth feel and culminate in a focused, linear, vibrant and solidly mineral finish. This is impeccably well balanced and really drenches the palate in extract.
