2018 Henri and Gilles Buisson Saint Romain Sous Roche

This 2018 is showing well! Drink while its in a good place!

Though a bit out of the way, the village of Saint Romain and the Buisson domaine is a fine source of terroir-expressive wines that offer outstanding value. Sous Roche is an excellent vineyard site for reds given its southern/western exposition. 

The Buisson family has been present in the village since the twelfth century. In 1947, Henri and Marguerite Buisson began bottling their wine and selling it under their own label. That is now the family tradition carried on in noble fashion by their son, Gilles Buisson, who works nineteen hectares with his wife, Monica, and their two sons, Franck and Frédérick.

Since the 1970s the vineyards have been worked according to organic principles. As of 2009, the estate has been officially certified organic by the ECOCERT organization. Of the 19 hectares owned by the domaine, eleven are planted to red pinot noir and eight are planted to Chardonnay.
