The Pousse d’Or domaine at Volnay was established in 1954. Its vineyards are anything but ordinary, consisting as they do mainly of premier and grand crus in the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Corton, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay. The domaine’s 18 hectares yield 90,000 bottles annually and are managed in a spirit of respect for terroir.

Le Domaine de la Pousse d’Or can be traced back to the Dukes of Burgundy and the year 1100. Since 1997, its new owner Patrick Landanger has invested considerable resources both in the vineyards themselves and in the arrangements for vinification and elevage.

A much spicier, and less earthy, nose freely offer up its ripe, fresh and airy aromas of red cherry, dark raspberry and violet nuances. The elegant, pure and wonderfully textured flavors are silky though solidly punchy, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and firm finale that is akin to rolling a small pebble around the mouth. Excellent. Date: April 2025; Drink: 2031+; Issue: 98; Comments: Outstanding; Rating 90-93 Points; Allen Meadows; Burghound
