Domaine de la Pousse d'Or

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay 1er Cru ‘Caillerets – Clos des 60 Ouvrées’ 2022

An exotically spicy and broadly floral-suffused nose is comprised mostly by ripe plum and black cherry scents. The super-sleek and highly energetic medium weight flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive minerality on the precise, intense, balanced and lingering finish that, like the Bousse d’Or, would benefit from better depth. Even so, this is very classy juice with the aging potential to match. (Monopole) 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (92-94

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay 1er Cru ‘Clos de la Bousse d’Or’ 2022

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Point

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay 1er Cru ‘Clos de la Bousse d’Or Amphore’ 2020

This is also aromatically cool but ripe and spicy though in this case the red and dark raspberry scents are notably more floral in character. The delicious, intense and well-detailed lighter weight flavors possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts with the moderately austere and quite firm finale where a touch of sweetness gradually emerges. 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Groseilles’ 2022

This is also aromatically perfumed with better layering to the spicier aromas of mostly red cherry and rose petal. There is markedly more refinement to the seductively, even generously, textured medium weight flavors that also exude a subtle bead of minerality on the impressively long, balanced and more complex finale. This is excellent and is a wine that could be approached young but reward a decade plus of cellaring. (from a .52 ha parcel) 2032+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Bur

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Feusselottes’ 2020

A slightly more elegant nose features notes of poached plum, black raspberry, violet and anise hints. There is a notably finer mouthfeel to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that conclude in a firmer and better-balanced finale where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. 2028+ (from a .42 ha parcel)Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Charmes’ 2022

A more deeply pitched nose combines notes of poached plum and exotic tea with those of violet, lilac and a suggestion of wood. The richer and more voluminous flavors possess more evident power if not the same refinement on the more structured finale. This is also nicely balanced but in contrast to the Groseilles, it’s not likely to drink especially well before 8 to 10 years have passed.

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Corton ‘Clos du Roi’ Grand Cru MAGNUM 2022

Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Amoureuses’ 2022

A very fresh and, as one might expect, this possesses the spiciest nose to this point with its wonderfully floral red berry fruit aromas. The borderline painfully intense flavors possess a super-sleek and chiseled mouthfeel that is akin to rolling small rocks around the mouth on the dusty, moderately austere, compact and built-to-age finale. I would strongly recommend not touching a bottle of this beauty before at least 10 years have passed. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Bur

Pinot Noir from Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2020

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty nose combines notes of dark raspberry, exotic tea and a broad range of floral elements. The succulent, refined and admirably punchy medium weight plus flavors possess excellent delineation and a taut muscularity that becomes more prominent on the saline and bitter pit fruit-suffused finale. This well-balanced and very promising effort that delivers first-rate length. 2032+ (from a .32 ha parcel)Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Chames-Chambertin 2022

An expansively floral-suffused red berry fruit nose is nuanced by hints of earth, the sauvage, underbrush and a barely perceptible touch of wood. There is reasonably good volume and density to the medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and decidedly compact finale. Patience strongly suggested here as well. (from a .26 ha parcel in Mazoyères) 2034+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points
