Christophe Buisson Christophe Buisson Bourgogne, France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

Based in saint romain and a 1st attempt.... Aromatics of deep red raspberries and cherries, violets and baking spices. Palate reflects the vintage ripeness and density, but not without the presence of good acidity, forest and earthy notes. Slightly heavy and off balance feel with some alcohol poking through as it warms up so serve it slightly chill. Finish is short but still pretty decent for a weekday home alone pop.

Popped and poured. One of the best Bourgogne I have tasted. In a great place right now. Light Ruby. Ethereal, lovely cherry aromas waft from the glass. Hard to believe this is not a Premier Cru. The same goes for the mouth; this is simply amazing for its level. Lovely, earthy cherry flavor is predominate. This must be the best Bourgogne I have tasted ever. Absolutely lovely and punching way above its weight class. 4-13-17-9: 93/100.

Kermit Lynch and Small Vineyards Sept Tasting at Wine Wizards (Wine Wizards) : Light color but nice hue, spicy faint sour cherry nose. Supple in mouth, with vague fruit and mostly barrel spice. It has a decent tannin structure and nice full exit. Pour me a glass for free and I will drink it but at close to $30 there are more complex, intriguing and satisfying Pinots from Oregon. Not a bad wine but not a value either.

Cheap Burgundy (Dig Wines, San Francisco) : Light red. Slightly funky, brambly nose. Lighter weight, faded strawberry, herbs, and earth-cleaner than it seems aromatically. Tart, tannic finish that could use a few years to soften. Pretty standard issue Bourgogne that I would never buy at the price.

The nose is the star here. Nice candlewax raspberry and cherry nose. Roses. Very delicate, pretty and feminine. Quite decent in all other respects as well, and a hell of wine for the money. Light-medium ruby, and fairly decent viscosity. Palate has grown and grown while this has been open, earthy with dusty fruit, but also with a pretty good dollop of fruit. Juicy and mouthwatering. Could probably use a bit of time, or a good decant, but good even …

Taste Wines from Importer Kermit Lynch (San Diego Wine Co.) : N: Slightly muted; smoke with berries & earth? P: Med, poss LM, body; Almost rndish entry met by some mid palate pucker, this only SOMEWHAT resolving by the LONG, spicy, tangy finish. Deserves 9-18 mos, then drinking through '20, quite possibly longer. Per a shelf-talker from the importer, the fruit for this comes "...from an organic vineyard near Nuits-St- Georges." Aged in 50% oak and 50% cement. 12.5% ABV …
