Buisson Charles Bourgogne Rouge 2023
Introduction
This elegant red wine originates from the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, produced by Domaine Buisson-Charles. While the estate is world-renowned for its powerful Meursault whites, winemaker Patrick Essa applies the same meticulous care to his limited production of reds. Sourced from vineyards located within the commune of Meursault (specifically the lieux-dits of "Les Malpoiriers" and "Les Coutures"), the vines for this Bourgogne Rouge sit on clay-limestone soils just below the village level. These plots benefit from the same microclimate as the prestigious Meursault whites but are planted to Pinot Noir. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes purity and "digestibility," aiming for a wine that transcends its regional classification through the use of old vines (some over 50 years old) and a gentle extraction approach that favors finesse over power.
Wine Description
Buisson-Charles Bourgogne Rouge typically displays a vivid, bright ruby red colour with violet tints in its youth. The nose is fresh and expressive, bursting with high-toned aromas of crunchy red cherries, wild raspberries, and strawberries, underpinned by subtle notes of wet earth, forest floor, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and juicy, distinguished by its silky texture and approachable structure. It avoids the rustic harshness sometimes found in regional Burgundies, offering instead soft, ripe tannins and a vibrant line of acidity. The finish is clean and savory, with lingering notes of tart red fruit. This 100% Pinot Noir typically has an ABV of 13% and is aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (mostly second and third-fill to avoid dominating the delicate fruit).
