2011 | La Pousse D'Or | Corton Bressandes

Good dark red. Expressive, high-toned nose shows a leesy complexity to the aromas of cherry, flowers, soil and what Patrick Landanger called "blood peach." The palate offers uncanny energy and perfume, with sweet fruit lifted by spices and flowers. Lovely juiciness and class here.

Reviews:

• Burghound: A slightly riper set of red and black pinot fruit aromas enjoys added latitude by the presence of strong earth, wet stone and a touch of the sauvage. There is a sleek muscularity to the rich, intense and big-bodied flavors that also exude a fine minerality that adds a sense of lift and energy on the focused, intense and impressively persistent finish. As it almost always is, this is quite a refined wine in the context of the universe of Corton grands crus and this impression is also abetted by the presence of very fine-grained tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine de La Pousse d'Or is a high-profile domaine based in the village of Volnay, in Burgundy's southerly Côte de Beaune subregion. The domaine is known for both its Premier Cru Volnay homonym, the Bousse d'Or climat, as well as a raft of plots in top vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. It produces both red (Pinot Noir) and white (Chardonnay) wines from its headquarters in the impressive Château de Volnay (also known as the Pousse d'Or manor).The château building itself sits in the Clos de l'Audignac site on the southeastern edge of Volany (a certain François Audignac acquired the château/manor in the French Revolution) – one of three monopole vineyards in Volnay owned exclusively by the domaine.Just over the road to the northeast (and vaulting an intermediate premier cru plot) is the Bousse d'Or site while the Clos des 60 Ouvrées (a 2.4 hectare/six acre plot in the upper Caillerets vineyard at the southern end of Volnay) completes the trio.
