Domaine de la Pousse d'Or - Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2013

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

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 men for over eight centuries. One of them, Gérard Potel, glorified the wines of Volnays from 1964 to 1997, until his sudden death. Patrick Landanger, who bought the estate in 1997, took over the reins of the winery himself in 1999, carrying out a series of colossal works, including a redesign of the winery, which now operates by gravity over 6 floors. Since then, the domaine's wines have never ceased to move towards the paroxysm of Volnaysian femininity and incomparable silkiness on the palate. The recent addition of Chambolle-Musigny from the former Moine-Hudelot estate only confirms this trend.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

About the wine:

The 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2013 reveals a more reserved, masculine nose than the Chambolle Charmes 2013, opening with difficulty to reveal aromas of orange and black cherry. The palate is very silky on the attack, with wood dominating somewhat for the moment, though the fruit is nonetheless very present. The mouthfeel is long and tender. The energy and structure suggest that this wine will be enjoyable for the next 20 years.

About the domain :

Magnificent estate in Volnay. La Pousse d'Or owes its renaissance to Patrick Landanger, who has devoted considerable financial and human resources to restoring the reputation of this emblematic estate. He has considerably improved the winemaking facilities and acquired new plots, notably in the Côte de Nuits. The vintages are all remarkable.
