Domaine henri et gilles buisson
The delightful village of Saint-Romain is steeped in the viticultural history of the Côte d'Or. The Dukes of Burgundy purchased vineyards here in AD 1300.
The Buisson family has lived and tended vines here since the 12th century. The family began purchasing the vineyard in the late 1920s. Henri and Marguerite Buisson acquired full ownership of the domaine in the 1950s. Their son Gilles Buisson and his wife, Monica, took over the domaine from Henri and Marguerite, adding prestigious vineyards to the estate: Corton Grand Cru, Pommard, Savigny les Beaune, Volnay and Beaune.
Today, the domaine consists of 16 hectares of vineyards.
The estate is constantly researching and experimenting to increase their knowledge and obtain the highest quality. Currently they are testing out various ways to eliminate the use of all chemical products from the vineyard to the bottle.
They are also looking at the feasibility in the cellar of relying solely on the force of gravity to propel the wines through the various stages of vinification. Lastly, but equally importantly
They have a serious quality control project underway to ensure that nothing but the best cork is used for Henri & Gilles Buisson wines.
