We love - and envy - the French lifestyle. Delicious food, fine cheeses, and so much excellent wine. Henri et Gilles Buisson's Burgundy wines are a perfect reminder of the importance of le bon vivre!
This set includes 1 bottle of each:
Henri et Gilles Buisson - Bourgogne Rouge - 2023
Solely sourced from Pinot Noir planted just above Saint-Romain’s Sous Roche (one of the lynchpin crus of Buisson’s lineup), Bourgogne Rouge offers a similar expertly rendered balance of seriousness and breeziness as the Blanc. Saint-Romain’s tendency to produce kinetic red wines of palpable minerality is on full display here, with bright cherry fruit given lift by tremendously vibrant acidity. It possesses admirable sap and bastes the palate with dense, mouthwatering fruit. Like the Bourgogne Blanc, it spent one full year in entirely used 228-liter barrels with minimal sulfur additions.
Henri et Gilles Buisson - Bourgogne Blanc- 2023
Complex yet friendly, the 2023 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.
All premium gift sets are packed in a custom pine wooden gift box with slide opening, locally made in Campbellville, Ontario.
