The delightful village of Saint-Romain is steeped in the viticulture history of the Côte d'Or. The Dukes of Burgundy purchased vineyards there in AD 1300. The Buisson family has lived and tended vines there since the 12th century.
The family began purchasing the vineyard in the late 1920s. Henri and Margueritte Buisson acquired full ownership of the domain in 1950s.
Their son Gilles Buisson and his wife, Monica, took over the domain from Henri and Marguerite, adding prestigious vineyards to the estate :
Corton, Pommard, Savigny les Beaune, Volnay, Beaune. The domain today covers 21 hectares of vineyards, from 14Hectares of fully-owned vines.
