Description

Product description for Henri & Gilles Buisson Bourgogne rouge AOC 2022 (bio)

Information

The Bourgogne Rouge comes primarily from Saint-Romain, from vines at least 30 years old in our own vineyards. It is largely of Bourgogne quality from a site above Les Sous Roches, but a small portion also comes from declassified village sites in Saint-Romain. The vines are located at an altitude of around 425 meters above sea level. After hand-harvesting, partial destemming and spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel cuvées, followed by a mixture of pigeage and remontage, i.e., punching down and overflowing of the pomace cap. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously in the barrels. Aging lasted for ten to twelve months in a mixture of 228-, 350-, and 500-liter barriques, as well as in tonneaux, of which a maximum of 10% is replaced annually. The wine was tasted daily, and the barrels were racked whenever Frédéric Buisson deemed it appropriate. The wine was fined with bentonite and filtered very coarsely. Sulfur was only added during bottling, with a maximum total sulfite content of 40 to 50 mg/l. The winery is now Biodyvin-certified.

Colour

Transparent cherry red

Nose

This wine is a Bourgogne Rouge with a fragrant character of morello cherries, strawberries, and raspberries with tart barberry notes, subtle earthy overtones, and some dry wood.

Palate

On the palate, the wine is vital, juicy, and fresh with an initial burst of sour cherries, Darjeeling, and yeast. The tannins are powdery and fine, and the wine is easy to drink with a pleasant finish. Bourgogne Pinot Noir as it should be.
