Domaine La Pousse d'Or Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière 2020

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or has for decades been the collector’s choice for expressive, memorable wines from Burgundy’s most hallowed terroirs, and is unquestionably one of the Burgundian elite.  The history of Pousse d’Or in Volnay underscores its influence throughout the ages.  In 1855, the winery was part of a larger domaine that included Romanée-Conti and Clos de Tart.  In 1997, Patrick Landanger purchased the winery and its vineyards; today his son, Benoît, makes the estate’s wines.  Pousse’s dedication to sustainable viticulture, following biodynamic principles, is serious.  Vineyards are cared for without the use of pesticides or herbicides and are regularly plowed.

A new addition to the estate’s Cotes de Nuits’ lineup, ‘Perrieres’ is a poised and perfect Pinot Noir, a vineyard located just downslope from the impeccable terroir of grand cru Mazis-Chambertin. Structure, brooding fruit, tons of freshness — it’s all here.
