2010 Domaine Pousse d'Or Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 95
(just three barrels made, one new; from darker soil): Good dark red. Soil-driven aromas of blackberry, coffee, mocha, brown spices and menthol. Silky, thick and impressively concentrated, with an explosive flavor of black cherry jelly complicated by spicy oak. Most impressive today on the building, very long finish, which features noble tannins.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: January/February 2012
Domaine Pousse d'Or stands as one of the most recognized names in Burgundy. Originally called Bousse d'Or—which translates to ‘Golden Earth’—this domaine has undergone tremendous change in recent decades. Under the direction of Gerard Potel for the past 30 years, the house has established its trademark style and quality. In 1997 it was purchased by Patrick Landanger, a successful electromechanical engineer, who began making improvements in both the vineyard and cellar. He built a new gravity-flow winery, and invested in state-of-the-art equipment. Since 1505 this domaine has been gracefully representing Volnay and it continues to do so today.
