Henri & Gilles Buisson Bourgogne Blanc 2022

40% of the blend is sourced from their own Saint-Romain vineyards with the remaining fruit coming from their good friend, the organic Macon producer Emmanuel Guillot-Broux, plus some additional Bourgogne Blanc. The aim is to balance the limestone-driven acidity of Saint-Romain with the roundness and warmth of Macon fruit. Labelled as Maison rather than Domaine Buisson, as it is not wholly estate fruit.

Parcels were made separately than blended pre-bottling. 50% is matured in old oak and 50% in stainless steel.

“A very serious Bourgogne blanc. At first the nose is smoky, but it rapidly turns in a nutty direction. Impressive depth on the well-rounded, medium-bodied palate. Not super-complex, but beautifully balanced and long. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” – 91pts – Stuart Pigott – James Suckling
