Buisson Bourgogne Blanc & Bourgogne Rouge
Buisson Bourgogne Blanc & Bourgogne Rouge
We'll keep today's email brief, as many of you may be gearing up for travel or at least preparing to "disconnect" over the holiday weekend while connecting with friends and family. Henri & Gilles Buisson is an estate in Burgundy that we are big fans of. They are in Saint-Romain, not in the shadows but rather casting shadows on Meursault and Montrachet from above these prestigious Cote de Beaune vineyards. We got wind from our trusty Rosenthal rep Tobias that there were two bottles - a Bourgogne Blanc and Bourgogne Rouge - from the Buissons, that were priced attractively and that promised to deliver. Though that was technically enough for us, given our penchant for the Buisson wines and a look at the pricing, we did get samples of these two delicious bottles of wine, and we can officially vouch for them. We don't have to talk about the quality to price ratio, but trust us, it's heavily in your favor today! At $32 a bottle (before discount - more on that later) for wines that you just want to drink everyday through the rest of the year and into 2025, these bottles from the Buisson brothers are not to be missed!
Looking back at the wines we've previously stocked from the Buissons, it doesn't seem like we ever had any Bourgogne Rouge or Bourgogne Blanc at CSW, only Saint-Romains, so this may be a first at least for the American market. If so, 2022 is a great vintage for a debut! There are more detailed notes below, but the general gist is these are exquisite village-level Burgundies that are joyful, balanced, and ready to drink, both from organic and Biodynamic farming, and vinified with minimal intervention. The Bourgogne Blanc has freshness up front, giving way to a broad mid-palate with a touch of generosity that really impressed us for a village-level wine. The Bourgogne Rouge is very pretty, with bright red fruit, but not overly acidic or sharp, characteristic of the well-rounded 2022 vintage. I only tasted these shortly after opening, but it was clear that they would open up beautifully with 1-2 hours. We highly recommend stocking up, as these delicious wines help to remedy the feeling that we can't enjoy Burgundy on a daily basis!
To add a little excitement and brevity to today's email, we're offering a 10% discount on 6 bottles and 15% OFF on a case (or more), today and tomorrow, Thursday 8/29 and Friday 8/30!
