The 2023 Blanc comes from several sources, younger vines in Saint-Romain from plantings on the Northern side of the valley, high altitude chardonnay grapes from just outside Saint- Romain and some purchased fruit from the Mâconnais. Aged for one year in barrel.

The Buisson family name is closely linked to the destiny of Saint-Romain, a wine-growing village from its origins.

It was Henri Buisson, a true pioneer, who planted 5 hectares of vines and thus wrote the first page of the family destiny, by setting up as an independent winegrower in 1947, the date on which Saint-Romain obtained its AOC.

Gilles, Henri's son, and his wife Monica continued the story. They extended the vineyard to 14 hectares in 2000. They also created from scratch a new vat room and invested in new winemaking equipment.

Franck and Frédérick Buisson, sons of Gilles and grandsons of Henri, took up the torch in 2008. They gained a passion for the wines and their terroir as their inheritance. They love this land and intend to tell its story in their bottles, make it known throughout the world while respecting it. Henri Buisson already followed the "organic" trends of his time in the 60s and 70s. Today, the vineyard of almost 20 hectares and certified "ORGANIC" from 2009. The two brothers have been operating the vineyard entirely biodynamically since 2018.
