Maison H. et G. Buisson - Santenay 1er Cru La Comme 2020

Bettane & Desseauve

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

About the wine:

Offering aromas of cherries, sweet red berries and plums mixed with licorice and spice, the 2020 Santenay 1er Cru Clos de la Comme is medium to full-bodied, with acid notes, powdery tannins and a penetrating finish. It is more structured than its communal counterpart, though still quite refined.

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, they had already 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 showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white wines, which are fine, precise and elegant. A range of wines that richly deserve their first star.
