Producer Information

Domaine de La Pousse d’Or is a high-profile domaine based in the village of Volnay, in Burgundy’s southerly Côte de Beaune subregion. The domaine is known for both its Premier Cru Volnay homonym, the Bousse d’Or climat, as well as a raft of plots in top vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. It produces both red (Pinot Noir) and white (Chardonnay) wines from its headquarters in the impressive Château de Volnay (also known as the Pousse d’Or manor). The château building itself sits in the Clos de l’Audignac site on the southeastern edge of Volany (a certain François Audignac acquired the château/manor in the French Revolution) – one of three monopole vineyards in Volnay owned exclusively by the domaine. Just over the road to the northeast (and vaulting an intermediate premier cru plot) is the Bousse d’Or site while the Clos des 60 Ouvrées (a 2.4 hectare/six acre plot in the upper Caillerets vineyard at the southern end of Volnay) completes the trio. However, other big-name holdings include plots in Corton grands crus the Clos du Roi and Corton Les Bressandes (both planted with Pinot Noir) as well as 0.7 hectares (1.7 acres) in Puligny-Montrachet’s Premier Cru Cailleret vineyard. La Pousse d’Or also has vineyards in Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Pommard and Santenay covering around 18 hectares (44.5 acres). Some of these holdings were acquired when the domaine purchased the 3.5-hectare (8.6-acre) Domaine Moine-Hudelot in Chambolle-Musigny, in the Côte de Nuits. As a domaine, the estate’s history starts to come together in the late half of the 20th Century. Prior to its ownership by a conglomerate (with the estate and vineyards run by Gérard Potel) from 1964 to 1997, the Bousse d’Or vineyard had seen numerous owners since the Dukes of Burgundy and the King of France in the 15th to 17th Centuries. Successive ownerships followed the French Revolution, including the then-owners of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the Duvault-Blochet family, in the mid-19th Century. The manor house has also been through numerous proprietors, from the d’Audignac family (sometimes spelled “Daudignac”) to the successive generations of the Jobard-Dumesnil and Delaplanche families. In 1964 both the vineyard and manor were brought together in 1964 when the Potel, Ferté and Seysses families clubbed together to acquire the vineyard and manor house and establish the domaine. The Seysses family, better-known as the guiding hands behind Morey-Saint-Denis’ Domaine Dujac, eventually passed its share onto Australian shareholders.
