Tasting notes for the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Hors Ligne" 2020 - Buisson-Charles

  • EYE: This Chassagne-Montrachet seems to capture the light of a sunny day. Its golden brilliance foretells an unforgettable tasting experience.
  • NOSE: It's like a secret garden unfolding, where tropical fruits mingle with delicate white flowers. Sweet pineapple and juicy mango dance with wafts of vanilla and toasted hazelnut, creating an incredible aromatic symphony.
  • MOUTH: Here, it's a complete experience. The creamy texture caresses the palate, while flavors of ripe pear, golden honey, and fresh brioche gradually unfold. Subtle minerality adds a refreshing touch, balancing the overall profile until a lingering and gentle finish.

 

In short: This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Hors Ligne" 2020 from Domaine Buisson-Charles represents the quintessence. Ready to be tasted today, it also holds a promise: to blossom even more over 3 to 8 years in the cellar, revealing all its nuances. To accompany this wine, opt for refined dishes such as grilled lobster with lemon butter, pan-seared scallops, Bresse poultry with morel mushrooms, a pear and Roquefort cheese tart, or a lobster salad with citrus vinaigrette.

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.
