A wine that makes you feel like you're living in Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, crunchy fruits and soft and light tannins.
Slightly austere when young, the fine tannins blend with the redcurrant and raspberry aromas on the palate as the wine develops.
The Cave des Vignerons de Buxy was created thanks to the determination of the Côte Chalonnaise winegrowers to pool their talents in a common project and make their wine, tend to their vines and sell and market their produce together. With 270 members, 120 families work the plantings that go to make up this vineyard, perpetuating the techniques of their forefathers. Working together, these men and women uphold the values which are at the root of quality and respecting the environment. Thanks to the fruit of their labours, the passion for their profession and their deep attachment to the soil, these winegrowers have managed to bring out all the character of their land.
