Robert Parker
The 2013 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru is tight on the nose, but there are lots of ripe black cherries and blackcurrants waiting to blossom. There is a fine sharpness and straightforwardness. The palate is medium-bodied and much spicier than the Corton Bressandes: black pepper, cloves, and a touch of thyme, and it finishes nicely. What a superb Clos du Roi!" (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Wine rated (2016 guide) 17/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2017 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Spicy, smoky, subtle yet tense, more in the style of Corton than Clos-du-Roi, the vintage makes its mark. This will be a distinguished wine, but it needs time.
About the estate:
From La Bousse d'Or to Patrick Landanger, via the Dukes of Burgundy and Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet, this estate has been home to the great men of Burgundy for over eight centuries. One of them, Gérard Potel, brought fame to the wines of Volnay from 1964 to 1997, until his sudden death. Patrick Landanger, who acquired the estate in 1997, took over the reins of his cellars in 1999 in order to carry out a series of colossal works, including a redesign of the winery, which now operates by gravity over six floors. Since then, the estate's wines have continued to evolve towards the pinnacle of Volnay femininity and an incomparably silky mouthfeel. The recent addition of Chambolle-Musigny wines from the former Moine-Hudelot estate only confirms this trend.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Magnificent property in Volnay. La Pousse d'Or owes its rebirth to Patrick Landanger, who devoted significant financial and human resources to restoring the reputation of this iconic estate. He is responsible for considerably improving the winemaking facilities and acquiring new plots, particularly in the Côte de Nuits. The wines are all remarkable.
