Tasting notes for the Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 - Buisson-Charles

  • EYE: With its deep and intense robe, this Chapelle-Chambertin immediately announces its richness. With a vibrant ruby color, it reveals purple reflections, attesting to its youth and concentration. A superb preamble to this tasting session.
  • NOSE: A captivating aromatic bouquet. The complex aromas unfold with elegance, blending notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, and subtle floral touches. Spicy and woody nuances gradually reveal themselves, unveiling the depth and complexity of this Burgundian grand cru.
  • MOUTH: The first sip confirms the greatness of the 2018 vintage. The solid tannic structure is balanced by lively acidity, creating a harmonious equilibrium. The flavors of black fruits, accompanied by notes of licorice and vanilla, blossom in the mouth, leaving an impression of controlled power. The persistent finish makes us realize that we are indeed in the presence of an exceptional wine.

 

In short: This Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 from Buisson-Charles ticks all the boxes and provides us with a complete experience. Its deep color, complex aromatic bouquet, and structured nature make it a wine that can be opened right now or cellared for 10 to 15 years until it reaches its peak. This grand cru pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as Beef Wellington, duck breast with cherries, game bird casserole, grilled lamb chops, or a selection of aged cheeses.

A big little estate in Meursault

 

The Domaine Buisson-Charles, created in Burgundy by Michel Buisson and his wife during the 1960s, is nowadays managed by another couple: the winemaker Catherine Buisson, Michel's daughter, and her husband Patrick Essa (an engineer and trained oenologist). A family tradition which is not stopping anytime soon, since their son, Louis Essa, took the helm in 2020.

It's near the village of Meursault (on the Côte de Beaune) that you'll find the estate's vineyard. 6,3 hectares in total, just enough to make sure the terroir stays human-scaled. The Domaine Buisson-Charles produces 26 different cuvées, like the Volnay or the Chassagne-Montrachet for example. Yields are intentionally low, especially since the grapevines are quite old (90 years, for some of them).

What the estate really wants is for its wines (reds and whites alike) to stand the test of time. That's why the Buisson-Charles family has decided to not only use a horse for plowing, but also to reject any sort of chemical herbicide (they are currently going through the process of the French "Bio" certification). An honest and respectful approach to nature and the terroir.
