Note di degustazione
Ripe cherry and plum tinged with their pits as well as black tea, chalk, and brown spices make for considerable aromatic and palate complexity in the Pousse d’Or 2007 Volnay Clos de La Bousse d’Or. A polished texture and seamless persistence render this highly successful, and while I suspect it will easily tolerate a half dozen years’ cellaring, drinking it sooner still strikes me as the better bet. Patrick Landanger’s recent vintages seem to reflect increasing confidence (not to mention consistency), displaying a sense of restraint while combining richness and transparency to detail. Between the threat of rot and of roasting, he observes, the 2007s required more rigorous sorting than did the fruit from 2008, with a correspondingly lower crop, but Landanger and his crew did an outstanding job in the face of 2007 adversities as well as in 2008.

Good medium red. Higher-pitched on the nose than the Caillerets, with piquant notes of flowers, minerals and peppery spices. More primary in the mouth, with sweet red fruit and mineral flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. With its firm tannic spine, this very young wine needs a couple years to unwind.
Good full ruby-red. Dark aromas of black cherry, minerals, flowers and licorice, plus a suggestion of soil. Broad, dry and classic, conveying an impression of energy, a distinct stony character and little in the way of easy sweetness. In fact, this fairly large-scaled wine is quite youthfully imploded today. Finishes with suave tannins and lingering black fruits.
