Pousse D'or Volnay 1er Cru Clos Des 60 Ouvees 2020
The Wine
A premier cru climat in Volnay and a monopole, this site is a sub-division within the Caillerets climat, planted entirely to Pinot Noir. The wines are complex yet delicate, with notes of black cherry, minerality, and an elegant tannin structure. Situated at the upper end of the Caillerets vineyard on its steepest slope, it has Clos des Chenes above and Champans to the north. Clos des 60 Ouvrees is a prime example of Volnay’s slightly more intricate premier cru system.
89-91 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound 'A spicy and relatively high-toned nose features notes of various red berries, plum and a hint of exotic tea. Once again there is a really lovely texture to the nicely tension-filled medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the curiously slightly sweet and mildly warm finale. This may better harmonize with a few years of bottle age but at present it's a bit awkward.'

The Domaine 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.
