Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 ouvrées La Pousse d'Or (Domaine de) 2011

The wine

Le Clos des 60 Ouvrées is a 2.39-hectare vineyard surrounded by a wall in Volnay's Les Caillerets Premier Cru. On the border with Meursault, it is a monopole owned by the Pousse d'Or, and one of the domaine's most remarkable wines. The wine is matured on the lees in oak barrels for 15 months, and is neither filtered nor fined. The nose is very concentrated, with a hint of cherry and spices. The palate is delicate, with great distinction. It will grow in fullness over time (between 5 and 15 years).

About the Producer Domaine de la Pousse d'Or

The famous historical domaine of Volnay, the Pousse d'Or has an exceptional vineyard with many premier and grand crus. Previously owned by Gérard Potel, it is now in the hands of Patrick Landanger. The vineyard tends to come close to organic farming and the winemaking process is carried out smoothly, in the most natural way possible and élevage is understated (with a low proportion of new casks). The quality of this work means they can produce wines with remarkable aromatic expression and excellent aging potential.
