What is this wine?
Domaine Buisson-Charles, a rising star in Meursault, is known for crafting precise, terroir-driven Chardonnays that balance richness with mineral finesse. Goutte d’Or (“drop of gold”) is one of Meursault’s most historic premiers crus, with rocky limestone-marl soils that produce concentrated, structured wines of great aging potential. The 2017 vintage was a return to classicism in Burgundy, delivering whites of freshness, tension, and transparency after two warmer years.
Why get this wine?
Buisson-Charles is increasingly recognized by collectors as one of the most exciting producers in Meursault today. Their Goutte d’Or showcases the vineyard’s signature power while keeping precision and lift at the forefront. Compared to the more famous names in the village, this offers serious pedigree at a relative value, especially in a balanced vintage like 2017.
What does this wine taste like?
Lemon zest, pear, and white peach layered with hazelnut, acacia blossom, and chalky minerality. Rich and textured, yet taut, with bright acidity and a long, saline finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Best from 2023–2035. Decant if drinking now. Perfect with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, or creamy cheeses.
