"The style is very confident, powerful on the palate, noble aromas of almond and fresh hazelnut, long finish." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A white with notes of white flowers, ripe grapes, almond paste, honeyed nuances... Already delicious!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (2017 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the wine:

The style is very confident, powerful on the palate, with noble aromas of almond and fresh hazelnut, and a long finish.

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.

About the domain :

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (2017 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).

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.
