Premier Tasting

An Evening with Domaine de la Pousse d'Or

An Exceptional Evening in Burgundy

Some wines are worth making a special trip for. This is one of those tastings.

We're delighted to welcome Domaine de La Pousse d'Or, one of Burgundy's most respected historic wine estates, to The Spirited Gourmet for a special Thursday evening tasting.

Located in the beautiful village of Volnay, this remarkable domaine has centuries of winemaking history and an extraordinary collection of vineyards, including 7 Grand Crus, 11 Premier Crus, and 3 monopoles (vineyards under the exclusive control of one producer).

What makes these wines so special? Burgundy is all about terroir. How even small differences in soil, slope, and location can create remarkably different wines from the same grape. La Pousse d'Or has spent generations capturing those differences in the bottle.

Whether you're a longtime Burgundy enthusiast, a Pinot Noir lover, or simply curious about what makes these wines so sought after, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore one of France's great wine estates.

An extraordinary estate. A special Thursday evening. We hope you'll join us at the tasting table!

Premier Wine Tasting, November 12, 2026

Pousse d'Or Chambolle-Musigny - 750ml, 2023

While la Pousse d'Or is most closely associated with the village of Volnay in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, they also own property in the Côte de Nuits. This wine is coming from the village of Chambolle-Musigny and it showcases the hallmark perfume, finesse and purity for which Chambolle-Musigny is renowned. The nose is beautifully aromatic, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by notes of rose petals, violet, gentle spice and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully supple texture, delivering flavours of red cherry, cranberry and wild berries layered with hints of forest floor, spice and delicate minerality. The finish is long, graceful and beautifully balanced.

Pousse d'Or Santenay Clos Tavannes - 750ml, 2023

The Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Santenay Premier Cru Clos Tavannes is an elegant and expressive Premier Cru Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir in one of Santenay's finest vineyard sites. The nose is fragrant and complex, revealing aromas of ripe red cherry, wild raspberry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, sweet spice and finely integrated French oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully concentrated texture, delivering layers of red and black cherry, raspberry and plum alongside hints of earthy spice, cedar, graphite and subtle mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully persistent, combining freshness with structure

Pousse d'Or Volnay En Caillerets - 750ml, 2023

Volnay 1er Cru En Caillerets is a jewel of the Volnay appellation, renowned for its elegance and depth. From an emblematic parcel, this wine expresses all the finesse and complexity of Burgundy terroirs. Situated on a hillside, the "En Caillerets" parcel faces east, ideally positioned for optimal sunshine. On the nose, it offers a complex, refined bouquet blending ripe red fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry with delicate floral notes of violet and peony. Mineral and slightly spicy nuances are added, testifying to the unique character of its terroir. On the palate, the attack is elegant and silky, with a velvety texture supported by fine, well-integrated tannins. The balance between freshness, intensity and depth is remarkable. The long, persistent finish reveals subtle notes of undergrowth, truffle and sweet spices.

Pousse d'Or Volnay Clos De La Bousse d'Or - 750ml, 2023

Clos de la Bousse d´Or is a Volnay Premier Cru from a 2.13-hectare Monopole: a plot surrounded by a stone wall and planted adjacent to the town hall of Volnay that gave the domaine its name. Aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, violet, and sweet spice lead into a beautifully layered palate of vibrant red fruit, subtle earth, and fine mineral detail. Silky tannins and bright acidity provide balance and precision, while the wine offers depth and richness without sacrificing finesse. Graceful yet complex, this is a benchmark Volnay Premier Cru that perfectly captures the purity, charm, and age-worthy sophistication of Domaine de la Pousse d'Or.
