“A superb bouquet, of rare elegance, with very precise aromas—slim, charming, yet intense at the same time.” (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A beautiful red wine that is complex on the nose, very deep, and well-balanced, offering a lovely richness on the palate and a very fragrant finish. An exemplary Volnay!

Rated estate (2017 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

A superb bouquet, of rare elegance, with very well-defined aromas—slim, charming, yet intense at the same 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 Burgundy’s great figures for more than eight centuries. One of them, Gérard Potel, brought out the best in Volnay’s wines from 1964 to 1997, until his sudden passing. Patrick Landanger, who acquired the estate in 1997, took personal charge of the cellars in 1999 to carry out a series of massive renovations, including a redesign of the fermentation facility, which now operates by gravity across six floors. Since then, the estate’s wines have continued to evolve toward the pinnacle of Volnay’s femininity and an incomparably silky mouthfeel. The recent addition of Chambolle-Musigny wines from the former Moine-Hudelot estate only confirms this trend.

About the estate:

A magnificent estate in Volnay. La Pousse d'Or owes its revival to Patrick Landanger, who has devoted significant financial and human resources to restoring the reputation of this iconic estate. He is responsible for a considerable improvement in the winemaking facilities and the acquisition of new plots, particularly in the Côte de Nuits. The wines are all remarkable.
