Tasting Notes
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.
