The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes has a clean and crisp bouquet with hints of orange peel and yellow plum infused with subtle flint-like scents. The palate is well balanced with good weight, a mild-mannered and polite Puligny with a touch of walnut on the almost Meursault-like finish that has a long, saline aftertaste. Fine.

Catherine Buisson and Patrick Essa are winegrowers in Meursault, in Côte-d'Or. The couple run the Buisson-Charles estate, an eight-hectare estate, located in a short journey around Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, the golden triangle of the great white wines of the Côte de Beaune. The wines are organic and the vines plowed on horseback without using any weed killer. A small Burgundian-style estate that signs “haute couture” cuvées from plots located on exceptional terroirs.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
