Wine information

Buisson-Charles is a brilliant producer in Meursault and under the radar perhaps in light of some of their exalted neighbours. Fourth generation, Catherine Buisson-Essa and her husband Patrick Essa, who is also the winemaker, hold the reigns. Analytical, philosophical and intuitive, Patrick meticulously vinifies each wine for it to express its greatest attributes. This Aligoté is one of the finest examples you will find in Burgundy. It has a complex nose of apple, honeycomb and floral notes while the palate oozes appealing sappy fruit. "See ya later Aligoté...in a while Buisson-Charles"

Robin says "Aligoté is a lesser known grape variety from Burgundy that has many attributes of Chardonnay but crisper and leaner. Patrick Essa's version, however, is mouthfilling and gorgeous. One of the region's best and one which has graced my table on a number of occasions."
