Domaine de La Pousse d'Or, Corton Clos du Roi 2024

Domaine de La Pousse d'Or’s Corton Clos du Roi 2024 is a powerful yet finely detailed Burgundy Grand Cru, combining remarkable concentration with the elegance and precision expected from one of the region’s most respected estates. From one of Corton’s most distinguished climats, it expresses the depth of the site through dark fruit, mineral freshness and beautifully polished tannins. Crafted biodynamically, this is a wine built for both refinement and long-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Deep and inviting in appearance, the wine shows a rich ruby colour with darker tones at the core. The nose is dominated by ripe black cherries, dark berries and violets, complemented by notes of graphite, chalk, subtle spices and a delicate hint of menthol. On the palate, it is rich, layered and impressively concentrated, yet retains remarkable poise. Silky tannins and lively acidity create tension and elegance, while the long finish brings together mineral nuances, refined oak and exceptional balance. This Corton Clos du Roi has the structure to develop beautifully over several decades. With time in bottle, its dark fruit and floral character should become more complex, revealing further savoury, earthy and mineral nuances while the tannins soften into an even more harmonious expression.

Production
The grapes are sourced from the Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, a site renowned for producing wines of depth, structure and finesse. Domaine de La Pousse d'Or farms its vineyards biodynamically, aiming to express each climat as clearly as possible. Following a fully manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and undergo a cold maceration of approximately seven days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures, with twice-daily pigeage during a cuvaison of around 21 days. The wine then matures for approximately 18 months on its fine lees in French oak barrels, around 30% of which are new, with slow vinification and minimal intervention preserving its terroir-driven character.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C, and consider decanting for one to two hours when enjoying the wine in its youth to allow its layers and mineral detail to open. Its power and finesse make it an excellent partner for refined dishes with depth and structure, including roast roe deer, hare, pigeon, pheasant, slow-cooked lamb or beef with a rich sauce. Wild mushrooms, truffles and classic Burgundian preparations are also natural matches, while mature hard cheeses will complement the wine particularly well as it develops with age.

Producer
Based in Volnay, Domaine de La Pousse d'Or is regarded as one of Burgundy’s leading estates. Its approximately 17 hectares are spread across seven Grand Crus, eleven Premier Crus and three monopoles, giving the domaine an exceptional range of distinguished terroirs. The estate works fully biodynamically and focuses on expressing each climat with precision and purity. Careful vineyard work, long vinification, maturation on the fine lees and restrained use of oak result in refined, terroir-driven wines with considerable ageing potential.
