The Buisson family has been present in the village of Saint Romain in the Cote d’Or since the twelfth century.
Buisson's Bourgogne Blanc comes from several sources: young vines in Saint-Romain from plantings on the valley’s northern side; high-altitude Bourgogne-designated Chardonnay from just outside the appellation; and purchased fruit from their friends at the esteemed Domaine Guillot-Broux in the Maconnais, who have practiced organic viticulture since 1954 and became certified in recent years. Aged for one year without racking in used 228-liter barrels, it combines a lacy white-flower aromatic overlay with dense, ripe, salty fruit; the bright acidity of the high-altitude Bourgogne nicely offsets the luscious generosity of the Maconnais-sourced fruit, and the young Saint-Romain provides a stony anchor.

The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc, 100% Pinot Banc, has a primal, grapefruit-scented nose that develops a light fennel aroma with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine depth. What I appreciate is the texture on the finish that makes up for the aromatics.
