Domaine Buisson-Battault Meursault 1er Cru "Les Porusots" 2022

Notes:

Producer: Domaine Buisson-Battault is a fifth-generation family estate based in Meursault, currently run by François Buisson. The domaine farms approximately 8.5 hectares across Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Pommard, and Bourgogne Côte d'Or. Certified organic since 2022, the estate emphasizes sustainable viticulture, low yields, and traditional Burgundian winemaking to produce wines that reflect the individuality of each vineyard.
Vineyard: Les Porusots is one of Meursault's most renowned Premier Cru vineyards, located on the southern edge of the village adjacent to Puligny-Montrachet. Buisson-Battault's parcel lies in Porusot-Dessus, where shallow limestone soils and excellent drainage produce wines known for their mineral tension, concentration, and longevity. The average vine age is approximately 36 years.
Winemaking: Produced from 100% Chardonnay, the grapes are hand harvested and whole-cluster pressed before fermentation in French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrel (approximately 20% new oak) followed by 6 months in stainless steel on its fine lees prior to bottling. François Buisson avoids bâtonnage, preferring extended lees aging to preserve freshness, precision, and site expression.
Food Pairing: Lobster, Dover sole, turbot, scallops, crab, roast chicken with morels, veal in cream sauce, mushroom risotto, and aged Comté. The wine's combination of richness, vibrant acidity, and limestone-driven minerality makes it particularly well suited to refined seafood and classic French cuisine.
