Tasting Notes

95 points, Decanter This is serious. The most gorgeous drop, with prodigious length and some serious va-va-voom. Toasted hazelnuts and baked grains, a hint of spearmint and smoky, pithy palate, with a flavour that carries on and on. Vines here are 60-90 years old, with a high ratio of clay-marl to limestone. Astonishingly classy, with a long life ahead. 2020 is coming into its own and showing absolutely fabulously. 

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. The Sous La Velle is one of 4 lieu-dits made by the Buisson brothers, each as good as the last.

FROM THE PRESS

“The Buissons farm nearly 2ha of 60-year-old vines at 370m in the Sous la Velle lieu-dit. The site has more clay in the soil than the other side of the valley, and in 2020 it produced a ripe, concentrated wine scented with quince, a hint of citrus, and notes of mineral and spice. Despite the heat of the year, there is plenty of freshness here to balance the lush feel on the palate to perfection. This is marvellous wine from an overlooked appellation. Biodynamic.”
