Buisson, Henri & Gilles 2022 Bourgogne Blanc
This 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.
Notes from Rosenthal Wine Merchant: The 2022 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. 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. [Note: Because purchased fruit is included in the blend, the wine is labeled “Maison Henri & Gilles Buisson.”]
