Wine Description for Puligny-Montrachet “Les Reuchaux” AOC 2023 by Henri & Gilles Buisson

Character

A Chardonnay of crystalline purity and profound radiance. This Puligny-Montrachet displays the tension between silky finesse and energetic dynamism that is so typical of Domaine Buisson. On the palate, it is immensely focused, puristic and defined by a timeless elegance that directs the focus entirely onto origin and structure.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes originate from the renowned Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson, rooted in Saint-Romain, brings its decades of experience with calcareous soils to this single vineyard site. The limestone-dominated soil structure lends the wine a pronounced mineral complexity and a fine, lively texture that reflects the authentic face of the subregion.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay, grown under the strict principles of biodynamic farming, which the Buisson family has practiced out of conviction for decades. In the cellar, the work follows the philosophy of minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and the omission of fining and filtration allow the grape variety its unadulterated expression. The result is an uncompromising white wine with 13.0% ABV, combining artisanal precision with natural balance.

Food Pairings

This structurally sophisticated white wine is a stylish partner for fine fish dishes and seafood. It pairs masterfully with pan-fried turbot in lemon butter, classically prepared lobster or refined poultry in a morel cream sauce. It also demonstrates its full class alongside aged Comté.
