A producer we have only offered once or twice, Domaine Buisson-Battault is a fantastic little address in Meursault. The Buisson family has been in Burgundy for some time, and Andre Buisson started this estate in 1945. He was joined by his son Francois 40 years later in 1985, and together they worked side by side until his father passed in 2003. In 2006 Francois moved the estate to his grandparent's former home, which was a renowned mustard factory from 1870-1939 and has since made some great wines from 8 hectares spread over 14 appellations which are tended organically. The Gouttes d'Or is one of 4 premier crus Buisson-Battault makes and is one of the top examples of the vintage for the Domaine. Sourced from four parcels planted in1955,1968, 1974, and 2005 giving it a good old vine concentration with a bit more energy from the younger planting. 2020 is one of the best examples of the Gouttes d'Or from Buisson-Battault and is on par with the Domaines Genevrières, Poruzots, and Charmes this vintage and is available for much less with the other crus going for well over $100. This is one of the single best buys for Meursault premier Cru this vintage, and we have some of the only bottles available in the USA at this low pricing.
Vinous (Neal Martin) 92 pts! "The 2020 Meursault Les Gouttes d'Or 1er Cru, which comes from two parcels planted between 1955 and 2005, like other cuvées, has been filtered. It has an airy, green apple and orange pith scented bouquet that unfolds gently in the glass. Discrete. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lightly spiced, not as powerful as the Charmes yet precise and quite sustained on the finish. Very fine. (Drink between 2025 - 2045)"
