Tasting Notes
The elegance and delicacy of Volnay, with the power and persistence of Pommard. Its proximity to Pommard, its neighbouring appellation, allows it to benefit from a similar soil, highly concentrated in iron oxide, in addition to a source rock specific to Volnay. The nose is intense and offers notes of raspberry, flowers and toast. The palate is tasty, revealing spicy aromas of cinnamon and bread quignon. To be enjoyed now or rediscovered later, its freshness allowing it to age up to 12 years.
More Info
The Buisson family has been tending vines in Saint-Romain since the 11th century. The family started buying up vineyards around Beaune in the 1920s. Henri and Marguerite Buisson owned the domaine in the 1950s (Henri actually began bottling in 1947) and their son Gilles and his wife, Monica, took over in the 1980s adding illustrious vineyards in Corton, Pommard, Meursault, Volnay and Beaune to the estate’s base holdings in Saint-Romain. Gilles began handing over to his sons, Franck and Frédérick, in the early 2000s. Big brother Franck looks after the business and operational side of things, little brother Fred makes the wines.
