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

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.
