Buisson-Charles 'Hautes Coutures' Cote-D'Or, Pinot Noir 2022 Burgundy, France

From the fourth-generation Buisson-Charles family estate in Meursault, this Bourgogne Rouge comes from 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines in the prestigious Hautes Coutures lieu-dit. Under the meticulous care of Catherine Buisson and Patrick Essa, the wine is crafted following premier cru standards with 30% whole bunches and aged in French oak barrels. This approach yields a wine that beautifully balances richness with the crystalline purity that defines exceptional Burgundy.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in color, this Pinot Noir reveals aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle earthiness with hints of forest floor and delicate spice. The palate shows concentrated red fruit flavors supported by silky tannins and bright acidity, with notes of rose petals and mineral undertones that speak to the limestone-rich soils of its terroir. The finish is elegant and persistent, displaying the wine's excellent structure and aging potential of over a decade.
