Domaine de La Pousse d'Or, Volnay Clos des 60 Ouvrées Monopole 2022

Domaine de La Pousse d'Or’s Volnay Clos des 60 Ouvrées Monopole is one of the appellation’s most refined and distinctive expressions, produced from a vineyard entirely owned by the domaine. This 2022 Pinot Noir combines Volnay’s hallmark elegance and floral character with remarkable concentration, mineral precision and a long, beautifully composed finish. As one of the estate’s three Volnay monopoles, it holds a particularly special place within the domaine’s portfolio.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in colour, the wine opens with an expressive bouquet of red cherries, wild raspberries, violets and rose petals, followed by subtle spice and the cool, stony impression of wet limestone. With time in the glass, more nuanced aromas of black tea, forest floor and finely integrated oak begin to emerge. The palate is silky, layered and remarkably precise, balancing elegance with depth and concentration. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, while fresh acidity brings energy and length. The finish is exceptionally long, pure and refined, marked by a distinct chalky mineral character associated with the Les Caillerets terroir. Although already captivating, the wine has the balance and structure to develop beautifully with age.

Production
The fruit comes from the Clos des 60 Ouvrées monopole in Volnay, a limestone-influenced site known for producing wines of finesse, perfume and mineral clarity. Domaine de La Pousse d'Or farms biodynamically, with a strong focus on biodiversity, low yields and meticulous manual work in the vineyard. After careful hand selection, the grapes undergo a slow, controlled fermentation with very gentle extraction to preserve the elegance of Pinot Noir. The wine is then matured for an extended period on its fine lees in French oak barrels. Minimal intervention is preferred, and the wine is left un fined and unfiltered when conditions allow, preserving the purity of its origin.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, guinea fowl, veal, or poultry with mushroom and truffle accents. It also works beautifully with earthy vegetable dishes, wild mushrooms and mature, delicately flavoured cheeses. Serve at approximately 15–17°C. Decanting is not essential when the wine is young, but a gentle decant of 30–60 minutes can help reveal its floral, mineral and savoury layers; older bottles are best handled with particular care.

Producer
Domaine de La Pousse d'Or is regarded as one of Burgundy’s benchmark producers, with approximately 17 hectares and an unusually high proportion of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. In Volnay, the domaine owns three monopoles, including Clos des 60 Ouvrées, giving it an especially important presence in the appellation. Its biodynamic farming, low yields, painstaking vineyard work and exceptionally gentle cellar practices are central to its reputation for pure, terroir-driven Burgundy.
