The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine La Pousse d'Or is a remarkable estate, solidly established in Volnay and run by the Landanger family, which explores all the facets of Burgundy's sophistication. Its magnificent heritage of vines - 7 Grands Crus, 3 Monopoles, and 11 Premiers Crus - allows it to influence the entire Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. 

Biodynamic work, gentle vinification, and careful maturation on lees in barrels are the prerequisites for this success which are embodied in wines with evocative names, from Chambolle-Musigny to Pommard, including Volnay, of course, Puligny-Montrachet, Bonnes-Mares, Corton, Échezeaux or Morey-Saint-Denis.

With the highest standards, this prized address chisels goldsmith's wines supported by luxurious maturation that allows them to age for a long time.
Wine True to its finesse, the 2017 red Santenay 1er Cru Clos de Tavannes is a subtle, elegant wine. Produced from a plot of just over 2 hectares, some of whose vines are almost a hundred years old, it unfurls a magnificent framework on this very fine vintage, with melted tannins well polished by ageing. A wine for aging, which you can start drinking this winter with pigeon or white meat.
Vinification Hand-picked grapes. Aged for 15 months on fine lees in oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
