H. et G. Buisson - Saint-Romain Absolu rouge 2016 (sans soufre ajouté)

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

Highly aromatic, with notes of black cherries, berries, and red roses. On the palate, it is taut and deep, with pronounced yet well-integrated tannins. We truly appreciate this wine with great potential.

About the estate:

Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family has lived in the village since the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Certified by Ecocert since 2012, they practice viticulture and winemaking in the most natural way possible. The red wines, which always contain a small amount of whole clusters, offer a precise expression of their terroir, advocating for the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain that we have rarely seen at this level. The precise whites are no exception.

About the wine:

Its rich, dense texture reveals its potential. It has a beautiful fullness on the palate while retaining the integrity that characterizes the estate's wines.

About the estate:

Frédéric, the winemaker, and Franck, the sales manager, run one of the largest estates in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Having practiced organic farming—certified since 2009—they made the transition to biodynamic farming in 2018. For the past ten years, they have been following the lunar calendar for bottling. Their meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows them to produce deep, distinguished wines that age well. This is an estate that beautifully showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white wines; the wines are refined, precise, and elegant. A range of wines that fully deserves its first star.
