Tasting Notes
Wonderful energy, lift and purity. Excellent value for a Bourgogne Blanc of this quality! Tasting blind, one might think this is one of their more premium single vineyard wines. It is at once super fine and super concentrated with swathes of lime, preserved lemon, citrus peel and grapefruit penetrating the senses followed by a delicious buttered toast character, tongue-tingling minerals and all this capped off by a mouthwatering lemon acidity. Bright, focused and engaging with a finish that really lingers. Beautiful with fish, scallops, lobster and smoked salmon, and turkey. It’s also a lovely wine to simply sip on its own. The 2021 is a blend made up from 40% of the Buisson’s excellent St Romain vineyards, that sell for almost double the price, 50% from a top source in Macon-Cruzille, and 10% Bourgogne Blanc.
More Info
Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson is a sensational producer. They are most definitely a feather in our cap. We don’t come across producers like this often, that aren't already being imported to the UK. In fact, it would be just a few like this in a lifetime, such is the quality of terroir they have, but more importantly what they’re doing with it. Perriere is one of 4 lieu-dits made by the Buisson brothers, each as good as the last.
