Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson – Beaune Les Prevoles

AOC BEAUNE

Red

A deep cherry colour followed by flavours focused on black and red fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and violets. The body is discreetly tannic and rich while preserving the fruitiness. With roundness and volume, balance and power in fair proportions the taste often evokes the cherries with a beautiful elegance.

WINE MAKER

In 1947 Henri Buisson decided to bottle wine with his name on the label. Gilles and Monica then expanded the estate with prestigious names: Corton-Charlemagne, Pommard, Volnay and Beaune. In the 70s, Henri Buisson was already working in organic farming, and now the last two of the family, Frederick and Franck, continue the work started by their grandfather. BIO certification was given in 2009 and the first wine without suffering was marketed in 2011. The Organic Agriculture label stamped on the 2012 vintage is proof that the torch was passed into good hands.
