Note di degustazione
Dark red with ruby tones. A bit higher-pitched on the nose than the Clos de la Bousse d'Or but with a sexy note of reduction to the very pure aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry, mocha and coffee; an unexpected floral note adds lift. Densely packed, concentrated and bright, with harmonious acidity and an element of medicinal reserve giving this wine a firm spine for aging. A more vertical style than the Clos de la Bousse d'Or, with solid, late-arriving tannins fully buffered by the wine's mid-palate sweetness. This wine struck me as a bit chocolatey from tank in November but boasts plenty of inner-mouth tension in the bottle.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées has a very rich and opulent bouquet with layers of cassis and blueberry fruit. The palate is dense and tannic with grippy tannin (a leitmotif for La Pousse d'Or's 2015s) with a dense, broody finish. It does not quite "sing" as I would have liked and I am seeking more Pinoté as exuded by the 2014 last year. Hopefully this will meliorate by the time of bottling.
Bright ruby. Deep aromas of blackberry and cassis complemented by sweet chocolatey oak. Large-scaled, rich and sweet; even a bit chunky today, with some CO2 yet to be absorbed. But this very rich, smooth wine has plenty of supporting energy to temper its chocolatey ripeness. Finishes with ripe, thoroughly buffered tannins. Terrific potential here.
