2009 Pousse D' Or Volnay 1er Caillerets Clos Des 60 Ouvrees

 

Allen Meadows' Burghound, May 2011
The ripest nose to this point exhibits liqueur-like notes of plum, blue berry and violets that complement well the equally ripe, opulent and mineral-inflected flavors that are also quite full-bodied, all wrapped in a detailed, vibrant and hugely long finish. The underlying material here is superb and this should easily improve for the next 12 to 15 years and last for an equivalent period thereafter.   94 points and Sweet Spot Outstanding.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011
The 2009 Volnay Clos des Soixante Ouvrees is one of the more delicate wines in the lineup. Here the fruit shows a redder tonality, while the structural components work more on linearity rather than depth. This is another thrilling wine from Pousse d-Or.   92 points.
