Up in the high, cool folds of Saint-Romain, where the vineyards sit above the bustle of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Buisson is built on something simple: time, place, and a family that has never really left either behind.

The Buisson name runs deep here. The family has worked vines in Saint-Romain for centuries, with records often cited back to 1758, and local roots stretching even further. But the modern heartbeat of the domaine really gathered momentum in 1947, when Henri (and Marguerite) Buisson began bottling wines under their own label—an independent step that helped define Saint-Romain’s identity just as the appellation was coming into its own.

Today, the domaine is best known as Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson, based in Saint-Romain, with a clear commitment to farming that keeps the land healthy and expressive. The estate is certified organic, and communicates that its vineyards are worked entirely in biodynamics—a choice that makes a lot of sense in a place like this, where freshness and detail are everything. 

What makes Buisson feel so special is the way these wines carry Saint-Romain’s personality: a little higher, a little cooler, a little more lifted. The whites often feel crystalline and quietly energetic rather than heavy; the reds lean into perfume and line, with an ease that feels more “walk in the hills” than “velvet curtain.” It’s Burgundy with air in its lungs—wines that don’t rush to impress, but keep opening as you spend time with them.

Domaine Buisson’s story is, in many ways, Saint-Romain’s story too: a family estate that chose independence early, listened closely to its slopes, and kept refining—year after year—until the wines started to feel inevitable. Not overworked. Not overexplained. Just honest, alive, and unmistakably of their place.
