{"product_id":"domaine-henri-et-gilles-buisson-chassagne-montrachet-2024","title":"Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson Chassagne Montrachet 'Les Encengnieres' 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from France in the Burgundy region, specifically within the Chassagne Montrachet AOC appellation in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson Chassagne Montrachet 2024 represents a pure, certified biodynamic, and finely chiseled expression of village-level Chardonnay. Tracing their family winemaking lineage in the adjacent high-elevation amphitheatre of Saint-Romain back to 1758, Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson stands as an early pioneer and benchmark of ecological viticulture in the Côte d'Or. Sourced from meticulously farmed parcels situated on gentle east- and southeast-facing slopes, the vines thrive in deep, stony clay-limestone soils strewn with fractured gravel and limestone marl. Under the direct stewardship of brothers Franck and Frédérick Buisson, the philosophy emphasizes manual harvesting in small bins, pneumatic whole-cluster pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous ambient yeasts, and maturation for 12 to 14 months in fine French oak barrels (approximately 15% to 20% new oak) with light lees contact and no fining or filtration. The result is a vibrant, deeply mineral white Burgundy that unites Chassagne's signature stone fruit power and fleshy mid-palate with the estate's hallmark alpine tension, clarity, and laser-focused precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine presents a luminous, clear pale straw-gold colour with brilliant platinum and emerald reflections along the rim. An expressive, highly perfumed bouquet opens with noble aromas of ripe Meyer lemon, crisp Bosc pear, yellow apple, and white peach, interwoven with sophisticated notes of acacia flower, toasted hazelnut, crushed limestone minerality, beeswax, lemon verbena, and subtle French oak pastry spice. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied, silken, and energetic, delivering concentrated flavours of citrus oil, orchard fruits, and savoury mineral earth, all supported by a bright, mouthwatering spine of natural cool-climate acidity. Framed by a rich, chalky mid-palate structure and seamless phenolic grip, it concludes with a long, persistent finish marked by lingering citrus zest, toasted brioche, and a clean, saline chalky drive. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, this 2024 release offers an optimal drinking window spanning 2026–2036+. Stylistically, it combines biodynamic vitality, classic Chassagne textural breadth, and focused Côte de Beaune mineral energy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"813386 - Kendall Catherine Brands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44604614049879,"sku":"151350","price":218.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/CHASSAGNEMONTRACHET.jpg?v=1794255061","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/domaine-henri-et-gilles-buisson-chassagne-montrachet-2024","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
