History

Le Domaine de la Pousse d'Or can be traced back to the Dukes of Burgundy and the year 1100. Since 1997, its new owner Patrick Landanger has invested considerable resources both in the vineyards themselves and in the arrangements for vinification and elevage.

In pursuit of ever-higher quality, he is animated by profound respect for his terroirs and this guides his ambition to share his passion for the great wines of Burgundy with the world at large.

 

The Estate of la Pousse d'Or dates back the Dukes of Burgundy, and it was already quoted in the year 1100 in capitular chapters.

According to historians, our wines were already known in the 4th century. By the 13th century, the King of France of then, Philippe-le-Hardi, had the 'Gamay' set forbidden to the profit of the 'Pinot' set so as to better guarantee the quality of our wines. Later, his grandson, Philippe the 6th of Valois, had himself offered 72 Volnay casks by the Duke Eudes, and had them sent to the Royal Court

Vineyards

Pousse d’Or has three premier cru monopoles, or exclusively estate-owned vineyards, in Volnay: ‘Clos de la Bousse d’Or,’ ‘Clos des Soixante (60)-Ouvrées’ and ‘Clos d’Audignac.’

Pousse’s attention to detail and dedication to organic viticulture (the estate is not certified but has followed organic principles for years) is serious. Vineyards are cared for without the use of pesticides or herbicides and are regularly plowed.

Grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, and bunches are destemmed and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Wines are aged from 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, with between 30 to 50 percent new wood, depending on the cru. All wines are bottled by gravity and are unfined and unfiltered.

Winemaking

Elegant and well-balanced, the wines of La Pousse d'Or typify their terroirs.

Vines cultivated without chemical inputs, natural and unhurried vinification, maturation in oak barrels (30% new wood) for up to 18 months, and regular and scrupulous attention to working methods endow the wines of La Pousse d'Or with real potential for laying-down.
