2019 La Pousse d'Or Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

In 2018, Patrick made way for Benoît to manage the Domaine de la Pousse D'Or. Also an engineer by training, he shares the same vision of quality and wishes to continue this process of striving for excellence! At ease with the language of Shakespeare, he travels the world with an approach that aims to share his passion for great Burgundy wines all over the world! Vines grown in biodynamic conditions, vinification using slow and natural methods, wines aged on the lees for 18 months, 12 of which in oak barrels, a constant and rigorous quality of work, give the Pousse d'Or wines a great predisposition to ageing.

The Domaine de La Pousse d'Or is distinguished by its 7 Grands Crus, 11 Premier Crus including 3 monopoles, in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Offering the purest expression of our exceptional terrois has been the Domaine's obsession for centuries. Today, our biodynamic work in the vines, the long and gentle controlled vinification, accompanied by maturing on the lees, contribute to respecting the exceptional balance and richness of the unique Pinot Noir grape varieties for the red wines and Chardonnay for the white wines, worked by the women and men of Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. The plots, representing approximately 17 hectares of vineyards, are located in the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Flagey-Achézeaux, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay.

The Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine de la Pousse d'Or is one of the most prestigious white wines from Burgundy, specifically from the Côte de Beaune. This wine is produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown on the high-altitude vineyards of Chevalier-Montrachet, directly above the famous Le Montrachet in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. The vineyards are located at an altitude of around 300 meters, with an eastern orientation that ensures optimal sun exposure. The thin, stony soils contribute an intense minerality to the wine.

In the glass, La Pousse d'Or Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is bright golden yellow with green reflections. On the nose complex aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits and subtle notes of toasted almonds and vanilla. On the palate the wine is rich and full, with a perfect balance between ripe fruit, minerality and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of honey and a hint of oak. This wine goes well with rich and delicate dishes such as poultry in creamy sauces, veal with mushrooms, foie gras, lobster and langoustine.
