2016 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or, Volnay Clos des 60 Ouvrees 1er Cru 750ml

The Domaine de La Pousse d’Or is distinguished by its seven grands crus and eleven premier crus including three monopoles.  Offering the purest expression of exceptional terroir has been the Domaine’s commitment for centuries.  The historic estate is one of the Burgundian elite. Hailing from Burgundy’s most revered terroirs, it’s the darling of collectors.

A highly complex nose features notes of menthol, dark currant, raspberry, wood, spice and the barest hint of VA. The sleek, intense and wonderfully refined middle weight flavors brim with both minerality and dry extract, all wrapped in a well-balanced and impressively persistent finish.  Good stuff in a built-to-age package.  Burghound (93 points)
