Vintage Character The 2019 Bourgogne ‘Bussières’ Pinot Noir from Maison LYS & Cousins is a vibrant and approachable expression of Pinot Noir from the southern reaches of Burgundy. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy was widely praised, shaped by a warm, dry summer and favorable harvest conditions that produced wines with ripe fruit, supple tannins, and balanced acidity. The vineyard lies in the Mâconnais, where clay‑limestone soils and a slightly warmer climate lend generous fruit while preserving freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this Pinot Noir reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by floral notes and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and medium‑bodied, with juicy fruit, fine tannins, and a harmonious finish. Its balance and charm make it a versatile partner for roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses such as Camembert, offering both immediate pleasure and short‑term cellaring potential.
Winery Background Maison LYS & Cousins is a relatively new project created by a group of Burgundy enthusiasts who partnered with Bernard Zito, a respected viticultural consultant with more than 30 years of experience, including work at Domaine de la Vougeraie and alongside Charles Lachaux. The maison emphasizes organic and biodynamic practices, careful vineyard selection, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Grapes are hand‑harvested, and winemaking focuses on purity and terroir expression, resulting in wines that are both authentic and elegant. The ‘Bussières’ Pinot Noir reflects this philosophy, combining accessibility with depth and demonstrating how thoughtful viticulture and precise winemaking can elevate a regional appellation into a wine of real character and value.
