Note : Bourgogne Aujourd'hui 16,5/20
Developing a very fine bouquet, especially fruity (blackcurrant, raspberry) with an animal nuance in the older wine (smoky musk), Les Ecusseaux is a supple red, with good tannins, well-structured in its youth and with an interesting ageing potential that makes it generous and velvety in texture over time. A very fine bottle!

Auxey-Duresses
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family presence in the village dates back to the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Ecocert-certified since 2012, they develop the most natural viticulture and oenology. The red wines, which still contain some whole bunches, offer a precise vision of their terroir that argues for the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain we haven't often seen at this level. The precise whites are not to be outdone.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Frédéric, winemaker, and Franck, salesman, manage one of the largest estates in the southern Côte de Beaune. Certified organic since 2009, they will be switching to biodynamic viticulture in 2018. For ten years now, they have been following the lunar calendar for their bottling. Serious work in the vineyard and cellar enables them to produce deep, racy wines that age well. This is an estate that perfectly enhances the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white, with fine, precise and elegant wines. A range of wines that richly deserves its first star.
