Discover Buisson-Charles Estate

The Buisson-Charles Estate, located in Meursault, is highly regarded among enthusiasts of precise and elegant wines from the Côte de Beaune. Long led by Michel Buisson, the estate has gained new momentum under the direction of Catherine and Patrick Essa, a respected figure known for his deep technical expertise and profound respect for the terroirs. Currently, their son Louis Essa continues this family legacy of excellence.

Terroir and Characteristics

The estate boasts an outstanding heritage of old vines, especially in the finest Meursault climats such as Les Tessons, alongside prestigious Premier Crus like Bouches-Chères, Goutte d'Or, and Charmes. The varied soils of limestone and clay, combined with a temperate climate, create ideal conditions for the Chardonnay grape. Winemaking favors long aging and minimal intervention to preserve freshness and aromatic purity.

Wine Profile

The white wines from Buisson-Charles are distinguished by a masterful balance between a rich, almost fleshy body and a refined saline mineral tension. The red wines, particularly from the Volnay and Pommard appellations, showcase silky tannins and vibrant fruit expression with exemplary consistency, reflecting both technical mastery and authentic terroir expression.

Food Pairings

These prestigious wines pair exquisitely with classic Burgundian and gourmet dishes such as aged Époisses, Bresse chicken with morels, well-aged Comté cheese, and delicate sauced fish dishes. Each bottle reveals its unique character through these pairings.

Your questions, our answers.

Which wines make up the Buisson-Charles selection?

The selection brings together a white wine, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019, and a red wine, Bourgogne Côte d’Or Hautes Coutures 2023. Both wines are offered in 75 cl bottles.

What is the difference in appellation between the two Buisson-Charles cuvées?

Corton Charlemagne 2019 comes from the Corton Charlemagne appellation and holds Grand Cru status. Hautes Coutures 2023 is presented under the Bourgogne appellation: these two bottles therefore offer an opportunity to explore two distinct appellation levels from the estate.

Can the 2019 and 2023 vintages be compared through this selection?

These are not two vintages of the same cuvée: the 2019 is a white Corton Charlemagne, while the 2023 is a red Bourgogne. A comparative tasting would therefore not isolate the effect of vintage, since the color and appellation also differ.

Which Buisson-Charles bottle would pair well with fish in a delicate sauce?

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019 is the white wine to consider from this selection. Fish in a delicate sauce is among the pairings recommended for the estate’s wines, whose white wines are described as combining richness with saline mineral tension.

What winemaking choices characterize Buisson-Charles’s approach?

The estate favors long élevage and minimal intervention, aiming to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. These details describe its general approach; the specific methods used to make the two cuvées are not provided.
