Presentation
After working as a broker, then as a winemaker, Christophe Buisson set up a winery in Beaune in 1996 to produce his own wines. Since that date, he has carefully crafted and aged a range of white and red wines from the Côte de Beaune, mainly from the Saint-Romain, Savigny-Les-Beaune, and Auxey-Duresses appellations. He is part of a generation of winemakers who are convinced that the quality of the harvest is paramount and that interventions in the cellar that could rush the wine should be limited. He therefore favors gentle techniques to produce wines that reflect the unique terroir of Burgundy.
