La Pousse d'Or
Domaine de la Pousse d’Or has an imposing property near Volnay, in the Cote de Beaune. They also have vines in Pommard and Santenay. Since its foundation in 1964 it has been a pioneering estate. In 1997 it was acquired by Patrick Landanger who invested heavily in this spirit, getting the best of his terroir.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (95)Bright ruby red. Perfumed, high-pitched aromas of cherry, minerals, spices and licorice: Cellarmaster Christophe Bouillot describes this as the domain's "upstairs Corton," while the Bressandes is their downstairs version. Precise and fine-grained in the mouth, with lovely mineral and violet high notes lifting the black cherry and licorice flavors. Really saturates the palate without leaving any impression of undue weight. Very long on the aftertaste. |

Vinous (91-93)Medium ruby. Black cherry, licorice and crushed stone on the nose, complicated by a smoky nuance. Lusher and broader than the Bressandes but nicely delineated as well, delivering a burst of black cherry fruit. Finishes firmly tannic, focused and subtly long, with terrific energy. A very graceful Corton grand cru. |

Burghound (94)The ripe and ultra-fresh aromas are from the darker side of the fruit spectrum while including plenty of spice, warm earth, menthol and plenty of sauvage character. There is both fine detail and a beguiling texture to the equally broad-shouldered and even more mineral-inflected flavors that possess even better complexity on the balanced and hugely long finish. Unusually, this appears to be just a bit less structured than the Bressandes and should also be approachable on the younger side if that's your preference. |

Vinous (91-94)Moderately saturated medium red. Aromas of raspberry, minerals and dried flowers complicated by torrefaction notes of mocha and coffee. Round on entry, then sappy in the middle, showing terrific crushed raspberry intensity along with saline, mocha, spice and earth notes. This very taut, energetic wine is even more backward than the Amoureuses. Really saturates the palate on the back end, finishing with outstanding smoky persistence. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2014 Chambolle Musigny les Charmes 1er Cru has one of the most exotic bouquets from La Pousse d'Or: macerated red cherries, orange peel and dried fig, nicely defined and just a little heady! The palate is succulent on the entry with supple, fine tannin. Here, there is a mixture of red and black fruit, whereas other cuvées lean towards the latter. It feels more harmonious in the mouth, perhaps more approachable with a persuasive, silky texture on the finish. This is very well crafted. |

Vinous (87-90)Bright ruby-red. Wild, musky aromas of dark berries and spices come across as a bit dull. Juicy and moderately deep but rather closed today, showing more saline minerality than primary fruit. This very backward wine finishes with slightly tough tannins and a lingering salty character. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Groseilles 1er Cru shakes off a touch of reduction to reveal and attractive, floral bouquet with scents of mandarin that infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded opening, quite fleshy underneath that carapace of tannin, grippy with a slightly tarry finish. Broody at the moment, it deserves four or five years in bottle, by then it should drink well. |

Vinous (84-86)The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Villages, matures in 20% new oak, has a light, slightly rustic, ferrous bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little pinched at the moment with an angular finish. |

Vinous (94)Dark red with ruby highlights. Very ripe but discreet aromas of dark cherry liqueur, wild berries and licorice, plus a note of sweet spices (cumin?). Dense, bright and savory; silky and soil-driven, with saline minerality complicating the berry and spice flavors. Finishes very long and perfumed, with excellent energy for the year. This is one address where I preferred the 2011s to the 2012s. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2014 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, from 0.32 hectares of vines planted in 1950 and 1951, has a much more generous bouquet compared to the Chambolle-Amoureuses, tensile red cherry and raspberry coulis scents, wet limestone and just a hint of cassis in the background. It is very Clos de la Roche, to put it prosaically. The palate is very harmonious, silky smooth and elegant. There is fine weight in the mouth, though this is more about tension and elegance, with a gorgeous, sensual, satin-like touch to the finish. This could become one of the best wines from this vineyard. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru offers more red fruit than the Bonnes-Mares, although at the moment this does not quite deliver the same nuance and comeliness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, quite linear and strict (especially for this vineyard), but with a welcome pinch of white pepper and sage towards the persistent finish. Afford it several years in bottle. |

Vinous (94)Good dark red. Expressive, high-toned nose shows a leesy complexity to the aromas of cherry, flowers, soil and what Patrick Landanger called blood peach. The palate offers uncanny energy and perfume, with sweet fruit lifted by spices and flowers. Lovely juiciness and class here. A wonderful Corton grand cru. Landanger did a much better job timing the harvest here than he did in 2012. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru feels a little ferrous and rustic, perhaps outclassed by some of the superior Volnays from La Pousse d’Or at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, finally showing the class of a Grand Cru with ripe, spicy black fruit towards the finish. Maybe it just needs a little more terroir expression but if the aromatics improve this should drink well over the next 15 years. |

Vinous (92)The 2016 Pommard Les Jarollières 1er Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis and light cassis scents. The oak here is evident but nicely proportioned against the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple blackberry and raspberry notes, just a tad on the oaky side although that will ultimately be subsumed and there is commendable harmony and length on the finish. This is very promising and ranks highly against its peers. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (88)Medium bright red with an amber rim. Rather decadent, balsamic aromas of plum, truffle and coffee bean. Displays a silky texture and good energy but this is beyond its fruit stage today and does not seem to be going anywhere. Incidentally, 1999 was the first growing season in which Patrick Landanger took care of the vines following his purchase of this famous estate. He told me that he also raised the temperature of the wine at the end of the fermentation for a little more extraction. |
