Christophe Buisson

My Saturday morning tasting with Christophe Buisson, a producer that I introduced for the first time in last year’s report on Vinous, took place at his winery, close to the train station in Beaune. “I picked from the end of August, around August 28 to 30,” he told me. “The reds went through an eight-day cold maceration in order to extract color and [as usual] everything is de-stemmed. There is no racking during the year that the wines spend in barrel. The 2020 reds will be bottled in January after a light filtration, and everything is bottled under cork.” This was a delightful set of wines that punch above their status, and they come highly recommended. The whites lean toward the richer side of things, and maybe a couple of reds show the warmth of the growing season too much. But otherwise, I appreciate the purity of fruit and the way that Buisson packs his wines with plenty of flavor.
