Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Description
Domaine de la Pousse d’Or has for decades been the collector’s choice for expressive, memorable wines from Burgundy’s most hallowed terroirs, and is unquestionably one of the Burgundian elite. The history of Pousse d’Or in Volnay underscores its influence throughout the ages. In 1855, the winery was part of a larger domaine that included Romanée-Conti and Clos de Tart. In 1997, Patrick Landanger purchased the winery and its vineyards. In the mid-2000s, Landanger added an impressive collection of Côte de Nuits vineyards (from Domaine Moine-Hudelot) to his portfolio. The estate’s dedication to sustainable viticulture, following biodynamic principles, is serious. Vineyards are cared for without the use of pesticides or herbicides and are regularly plowed.
The vineyard is an estate monopole. Walled vineyard is located near the town city hall.
Tasting Note: Aromas of black cherries, dark chocolate, warm leather, minerals. Fine-grained, precise and juicy; tangy red fruit blends with notes of wildflowers and minerals.
Wine Pairing: Flank steak with pepper; oeufs en meurette (poached eggs in red Burgundy); aged French cheese
Burghound: 91-94 Points
A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience.
