TASTING NOTES

Now priced above Pur Sang, this wine reflects how highly the domaine values the Buisson Renard site. Located on the southwest side of the Saint-Andelain hill, it is a cool, mid-slope terroir with soils made up of flint and clay, known in French as silex.

Historically, the site was called Buisson Menard, and the wine was initially released under that name. However, a wine writer mistakenly reviewed it as Buisson Renard. Since renard means fox and buisson means bush, the accidental name translates amusingly to "fox bush." Didier Dagueneau found the error hilarious and officially adopted the name from the following vintage.

The wine is fermented in barrels and aged in Dagueneau’s distinctive cigar-shaped barrels, custom-made in 450 and 600-litre formats to support gentle maturation and preserve precision.

Scores

95/100

m a bit of a fan of the Buisson Renard. At the bottom of the hill below the winery in the village of Saint-Andelain, there's a greater proportion of clay to flint, giving a broadness to the wine's shape that envelops the whole mouth. In 2022, you can smell the warmth of the vintage and experience its richness and yet its sense of lightness. There's an appealing chew to the wine, and on the finish, a salty residue that makes you want to continue drinking. It retains acidity, line and length and provides precision. Its maker, Jean-Philippe Agisson, believes 8-10 months in stainless steel after being in barrel plus filtration gives the wine this tightening belt.
