Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay Caillerets Clos de 60 Ouvrées 2005

A rare – but very welcome – guest is the Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay Caillerets Clos de 60 Ouvrées 2005, from the beginning of the Patrick Landanger ownership. This is a finely balanced 2005 with a delicate expression – perfectly extracted, refined and now maturing effortlessly. Lovely sous-bois and airy Volnay fruit – long and intense for the terroir – match the 2008 Clos de Vougeot from Montille that was served on this same occasion. This wine has a certain expression of greatness, and for once I had a 2005 that is actually revealing its potential somewhat. Give it five more years in the cellar!
