Buisson Charles Meursault Vieilles Vignes 2016 750ml

Burghound, Jun 15, 2018
A hint of matchstick sits atop the aromas of hazelnut, pear and acacia blossom. The vibrant, intense and admirably dense flavors possess excellent complexity as well as impressive length on the balanced and agreeably dry finale. This offers first-rate quality for a villages level Meursault plus it should age very well.

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.
