Profile

ドメーヌ・フランソワ・ビュフェは、ヴォルネイを中心にポマールやサヴィニー・レ・ボーヌ、ペルナン・ヴェルジュレスといったコート・ド・ボーヌの主要な村々に拠点を置く。特筆すべきは、所有する12の区画すべてがプルミエ・クリュ（一級畑）で構成されている点だ。なかでもヴォルネイのクロ・デ・シェーヌは0.96ヘクタールと最大の面積を誇り、クロ・ド・ラ・ルジョットやアン・シャンパン、タイユピエなど、同村を代表する名立たる一級畑を複数擁している。さらにポマールのリュジアンや、サヴィニー・レ・ボーヌのヴェルジュレス、ナルバントンといった多様なテロワールを網羅しており、グラン・クリュを所有せずとも、ブルゴーニュのなかで極めて純度の高い一級畑のコレクションを維持し続けている。

History

Domaine François Buffet is based in Pernand-Vergelesses on the western slope of the Corton hill, though its vineyards reach well beyond that commune into Volnay, Pommard, and Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Winemaking Approach

The domaine works 12 Premier Cru parcels across 4 communes — an unusually wide spread for an estate of this size. Volnay accounts for a substantial share of the holdings, with Clos des Chênes and Clos de la Rougeotte forming the backbone of the range. Production follows traditional domaine-bottling practices.

Yr	Score	Window	Notes
2024	★★★★★	Drink early	Frost, hail and mildew made Pinot extremely difficult. Yields fell to a quarter at worst, with overall thin, challenging quality.
2023	★★★★★	Drink early	A large crop with seductive fruit but inconsistent density. Approachable, charming reds for early-to-medium drinking.
2022	★★★★★	Hold	Despite the heat, perfumed reds with refined tannins seamlessly integrated with fruit — a recent benchmark vintage.
2021	★★★★★	Hold	A cool, classical return to high-acid style. Juicy, crunchy villages; Grands Crus show poise and freshness.
2020	★★★★★	Hold	Concentrated, dramatic fruit with surprising freshness from early picking. A standout vintage with long aging potential.
2019	★★★★★	Hold	Ripe yet classically balanced — an outstanding year with rich fruit and fresh acidity, suited to long-term aging.

2017	★★★★★	Drink now	A generous year, 41% larger than 2016. Supple, accessible reds with juicy fruit for near-term enjoyment.
2016	★★★★★	Drink now	Frost slashed yields, but survivors made deep-coloured, fleshy reds with soft tannins — charming for medium-term drinking.
2015	★★★★★	Hold	Warm, low-yielding and ripe, producing deeply fruited reds with structure and excellent long-term aging potential.
2014	★★★★★	Drink now	Fresh, lively and energetic reds with more length than amplitude — elegant, classic Côte de Beaune in style.
2013	★★★★★	Drink now	July hail damaged the north, but overall a cool, classical vintage producing charming reds with terroir clarity for medium-term.
2012	★★★★★	Drink now	Frost and hail cut yields, but survivors produced concentrated, balanced reds with harmonious structure and fruit.
