Reviewed April 2001This is normally the most structured of the Pousse d'Or Volnays but this is positively effusive with its exquisite nose of sexy, seductive black fruit and perfumed aromatics followed by sexy, beautifully detailed and rich flavors of juicy, succulent crushed berries and cassis. Yet for all the fireworks, it somehow manages to remain completely Volnay in character. Lovely stuff. *Outstanding*

Medium bright red with an amber rim. Rather decadent, balsamic aromas of plum, truffle and coffee bean. Displays a silky texture and good energy but this is beyond its fruit stage today and does not seem to be going anywhere. Incidentally, 1999 was the first growing season in which Patrick Landanger took care of the vines following his purchase of this famous estate. He told me that he also raised the temperature of the wine at the end of the fermentation for a little more extraction.
