2010 Buisson-Charles Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By billn on November 09, 2011

Just a hint of reduction – but frankly nothing could take your attention from a double-dose of cassis on the nose. Quite full and round with a real base of tannin. The flavour has creamy accents – regardless of appellation, just a lovely wine.

2009 Buisson-Charles Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Very high-toned aromas and quite some intensity of fruit – Patrick used 100% whole clusters. Full, supple structure and a slowly lingering finish. Absolutely bravo! For a Bourgogne Pinot Noir!

2009 Buisson-Charles Pommard

There’s a little more tannin here than the Bourgogne shows – no surprise, but the tannin comes with more flavour too, and lovely flavours at that. I’d almost say that there was a ‘finesse’ about this wine!

2009 Buisson-Charles Meursault Vieilles Vignes

By billn on November 09, 2011

The round nose has apparent richness and sweetness – just like the palate but here is also a acidity – just enough I think. The flavours cover the tongue with aplomb – long lasting flavour here.

2009 Buisson-Charles Meursault Les Cras

By billn on November 09, 2011

The nose reminds me of a 2010 with it’s clean-cut aromas, in this case underpinned with a clear mineral aspect. Relatively loose, comfortable flavours that are more 2009 but the flavours become more stony and intense in the mid-palate – still a wine with real potential I think.

2000 Buisson-Charles Meursault Les Tessons

By billn on November 09, 2011

There’s little iodine on the nose, otherwise this is clearly a wine of Meursault – if find lots of interest here. There is fine intensity here and some biscuit and savoury flavours too. Good power – lovely.

1999 Buisson-Charles Meursault Les Tessons

A lovely golden colour. Lots of toasty bread and sweetness on the nose, edged with a faint spicy note. Just perfect wine across the tongue, with flavour leaching from every pore of your mouth. Just lovely!

2008 Buisson-Charles Meursault Les Cras

By billn on February 07, 2011

The nose has less depth, but significantly more width and complexity; initially perhaps a higher-toned hint of mint amongst warm, green leaves and a tight core of fruit. Wow, a narrower entry than the Bourgogne, but waxy smooth before opening – w i d e – and growing and growing in the very impressive mid-palate with a super-tasty, slightly creamy agrumes flavour. The finish is about pure mineral and it’s very long. It’s a beauty.

2008 Buisson-Charles Bourgogne Aligote

By billn on July 29, 2010

18 months of elevage! Patrick thinks this more concentrated than the 2009. Ex-domaine this was only €6 – what a shame it is (long-time) sold-out. This is a hint creamy smelling and very complex! There is minerality and nervosité here, backed by lovely flavour, extension into the mid-palate and finally just the right amount of richness to lift this from compelling to covetable! An aligoté that is worth a special search – shame they are sold out at the domaine.
