2014 Saint-Romain Blanc
Christophe BuissonThe first thing you notice when tasting with Christophe Buisson is his high energy. He speaks quickly and doesn’t wait for you to catch up. I can see him on his mountain bike—where he spends a good part of each weekend—leaving his companions in the dust on the steep trails that surround Saint-Romain. Like him, the 2014 Saint-Romain blanc is lively, energetic, and straight to the point. It’s got a bite to it like an early-morning breath of crisp autumn air.

2022 Chablis 1er Cru ”Butteaux”
France | Burgundy
There is no mistaking it—one taste and you are in Chablis territory: zesty minerality, wet stone, freshness and nervosity.
2022 Petit Chablis
France | Burgundy
With a delectable combination of fresh fruit and oyster-shell aromatics, this remains Lavantureux’s benchmark for value and typicity.
2022 Chablis 1er Cru “Beauroy”
France | Burgundy
The premier cru Beauroy is a round, ample expression of Chablis from a south-facing parcel. Silky and suave on the palate, it finishes with a whisper of salinity.
2021 Saint-Aubin Rouge “Les Eduens”

France | Burgundy
This cuvée is a glimpse into a specific terroir, the best of what it produces—the voice of this appellation.

France | Burgundy
Les Champs Cloux fresh, with good acidity, but also among the domaine’s more robust reds.

France | Burgundy
The result is a red with a light touch and bright aromatics, yet still with a hint of southern French sun. Best chilled.

Christophe Buisson
About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
