Solely sourced from Pinot Noir planted just above Saint-Romain’s Sous Roche (one of the lynchpin crus of Buisson’s lineup), the domaine’s exemplary Bourgogne Rouge offers an expertly rendered balance of seriousness and breeziness. Saint-Romain’s tendency to produce kinetic red wines of palpable minerality is on full display here, with bright cherry fruit given lift by tremendously vibrant acidity, and while the wine is lithe and without flab it possesses admirable sap and bastes the palate with dense, mouthwatering fruit. It spends one full year aging in used 228-liter barrels with minimal sulfur additions.
