Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson Bourgogne Red 2024

The domain

Located in Saint-Romain, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson is deeply rooted in the winegrowing history of this Burgundy village. The family has been cultivating vines here since 1758 and today farms nearly 20 hectares using organic and biodynamic methods. Its Burgundy wines are produced in both red and white, with particular attention paid to the expression of each terroir.

Henri & Gilles Buisson: a family history in Saint-Romain

In 1947, Henri Buisson established himself as an independent winegrower and planted five hectares of vines, the same year Saint-Romain obtained its AOC status. His son Gilles and his wife Monica continued to develop the estate, which reached 14 hectares in 2000, while modernising the winery and the estate's equipment.

The third generation is now represented by Franck and Frédérick Buisson, Henri's grandsons, who took over the estate in 2008. They continue the work begun by previous generations while strengthening the property's environmental approach: the vineyard has been certified organic since 2009 and has been entirely farmed according to biodynamic principles since 2018.

Saint-Romain and the terroirs of the Côte de Beaune

The estate remains above all associated with Saint-Romain, where it produces several single-vineyard cuvées. The vines extend across limestone and marl slopes, often located between 300 and 400 metres above sea level. This diversity can be found in lieux-dits such as Sous la Velle, Sous Roche, Combe Bazin, La Perrière, En Poillange and Sous le Château, each offering a particular expression of Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.

The family vineyard nevertheless extends beyond the boundaries of the village. The Buissons also cultivate plots in several renowned appellations of the Côte de Beaune, including Meursault, Pommard, Volnay, Auxey-Duresses, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne.

The wines of Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson

Chardonnay naturally plays an important role in the estate's white wines. In Saint-Romain, the different plots make it possible to explore freshness, minerality and texture, with cuvées produced separately in order to preserve the identity of each climat.

The red wines are made from Pinot Noir. In Saint-Romain, the Sous Roche and Combe Bazin cuvées notably illustrate the estate's plot-by-plot approach, combining fruit, finesse, depth and the expression of limestone and marl soils.

This focus on terroir expression goes hand in hand with a commitment to environmentally conscious viticulture that has developed over several generations. Now certified in both organic and biodynamic farming, Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson therefore naturally finds its place among the organic wines selected by Infinivin.
