Domaine Henri & Gilles BUISSON

The Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson in a few words..

The Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson is a superb Burgundy estate, with a strong presence in the Saint-Romain AOC in both white and red. The domaine has had a tradition of respect for terroir since the 1970s, enhanced by the implementation of certified organic farming since 2009.

The Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson, located in Saint-Romain, Burgundy, is an essential reference for lovers of exceptional wines. For eight generations, this family of winemakers has cultivated vines with passion and expertise, producing authentic wines deeply rooted in their terroir. Today, Franck and Frédérick Buisson perpetuate this tradition by adopting a modern, environmentally-friendly approach to organic and biodynamic farming. Thanks to meticulous winemaking and absolute respect for the terroir, Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson produces pure, elegant and balanced wines that express with finesse all the richness of Saint-Romain and the surrounding appellations.

The Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson covers 19 hectares, spread over several prestigious Côte de Beaune appellations, including Saint-Romain, Corton-Charlemagne, Pommard and Meursault. Situated at a higher altitude than most Côte de Beaune vineyards, Saint-Romain benefits from a cool, breezy climate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and progressively, guaranteeing wines with good acidity and excellent ageing potential. The estate's soils are mainly composed of limestone and marl, offering a marked minerality to the white wines and great finesse to the reds.

Committed to a sustainable approach, the Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson is certified organic and biodynamic.

Thanks to its commitment to respectful viticulture and precise vinification, Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson is today recognized as one of the finest producers in Saint-Romain and the Côte de Beaune.
