Domaine de La Pousse d'Or, Clos de la Roche 2023

Domaine de La Pousse d'Or’s Clos de la Roche 2023 is an imposing Burgundy Grand Cru, distinguished by its pronounced mineral character and remarkable length. One of the estate’s seven Grand Crus, it combines the power and depth expected from Clos de la Roche with an elegant, finely detailed expression of its limestone-rich terroir. Crafted from Pinot Noir, it is a wine built for both immediate appreciation and long-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with black cherries and red berries, followed by evocative notes of graphite, flint, liquorice, sandalwood and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet refined, with lively acidity, ripe tannins and an impressive sense of concentration. Its chalky mineral tension brings energy and precision, leading to an exceptionally long, elegant finish. This is a structured Grand Cru with considerable aging potential. While it can be enjoyed after careful aeration, its complexity and balance should allow it to develop beautifully over several decades, revealing greater savoury, earthy and tertiary nuance with time in bottle.

Production
The wine comes from the mineral-rich, limestone-influenced terroir of Clos de la Roche, whose chalky character contributes tension and precision. Domaine de La Pousse d'Or works fully biodynamically, seeking to express each climat as clearly as possible. Fermentation is carried out slowly and under careful control, followed by an extended élevage of approximately 14–15 months in French oak barrels, around 40% of which are new. Prolonged maturation on the fine lees adds complexity, structure and elegance while preserving the Grand Cru’s distinctive terroir expression.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for refined, flavourful dishes such as roast pigeon, venison, duck, beef fillet, wild mushrooms or truffled poultry. It also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses, particularly Époisses or other washed-rind varieties. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting for one to two hours is recommended when enjoying the wine young; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted only if necessary to remove sediment.
