Domaine François Buffet

Along with Pierrick Bouley, this domaine is one that I can see entering the top league of Volnay producers. At present, however, the caliber of these wines is flying under the radar, apart from those acquainted with them. Buffet began by explaining how, during June and July, he sows seeds, cereals, radishes and legumes that grow and break up the soil, enhancing nitrogen content during winter. He says that, unlike grasses, they do not compete with the vine since he destroys these plants, mulching them into the soil the following February. He currently has three hectares under biodynamics, though he prudently is assessing its impact before expanding it across his entire holdings. “I can see some change,” he says. “The vines under biodynamics are ready three or four days earlier.” Concerning the 2022 vintage, he commenced the picking on August 28. “The 2022 is opposite to the 2021 with a lot of tannins and power though they are not too harsh,” Buffet opines. The 3 hectares under biodynamics may expand in the future if there is an advantage.
