Christophe Buisson crafts Burgundy with a focus on purity, precision, and honest expression of place. His wines highlight the character of each vineyard—bright, lifted fruit, clean lines, and a mineral backbone that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. Buisson’s style is appreciated for its balance: elegant without being fussy, flavorful without heaviness, and consistently true to the terroir of the Hautes‑Côtes and beyond. These are thoughtful, artisanal Burgundies that deliver clarity, charm, and exceptional value in the glass.
This Auxey-Duresses Rouge 2021 comes from southeast-facing hillsides, with clay-limestone soils mixed with fine gravel, which encourage drainage and concentration of the grapes. The vines, aged 25 to 35 years, produce rich and aromatic fruit, yet always balanced. The harvest is carefully sorted, vinification relies on progressive maceration, and aging takes place in partially new barrels, allowing the wine to reveal its finesse and depth while maintaining a nice freshness.
This wine delights with its deep ruby color and complex aromatic profile. Once decanted, the nose reveals notes of blackcurrant, violet, and underbrush. The palate is dense and well-structured, with fine yet firm tannins. The finish is long, with elegant touches of fruit and oak. Enjoyable to drink young but capable of aging.
