This is both more aromatically elegant and slightly more complex as well with its admirably pure nose that combines hints of wood and pear with acacia blossom, citrus rind and hazelnut scents. The citrus rind character continues onto the lightly mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that are supported by bright acidity on the clean, bone dry and impressively long finish that isn't quite as complex today as the nose. This may ultimately be a better wine than the old vines cuvée but you can't go wrong with either.

Michel Buisson was the third-generation vigneron at this domaine in Meursault. Despite being officially retired, the highly respected winemaker still finds much to do at the estate, which is now run by his daughter, Catherine, and son-in-law, Patrick Essa.
Patrick, who came to wine late in his career, has made up for lost time and is a very influential wine blogger (degustateurs.pro). As the domaine’s winemaker since 2009, Patrick has taken the house to new heights, producing wines that show great balance; they are concentrated and rich, yet pure and expressive, featuring both the crystalline purity and opulence of Meursault.

Buisson-Charles has holdings among the top vineyards of Meursault, as well as Pommard and Volnay; certain parcels of Meursault vines are more than 100 years old. Patrick believes the terroir, not the winemaking, should determine the taste of the wine, and his creations reflect the essence of their appellations.
