The wine
Colnay Premier Cru Clos d'Audignac is a monopole vineyard owned by Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. Produced from a north-east facing parcel of 0.8 hectares with vines planted in 1966, this wine has a complex nose of vanilla, liquorice and caramel, and a rich, creamy and reasonably balanced palate.
About the Producer Domaine de la Pousse d'Or
The famous historical domaine of Volnay, the Pousse d'Or has an exceptional vineyard with many premier and grand crus. Previously owned by Gérard Potel, it is now in the hands of Patrick Landanger. The vineyard tends to come close to organic farming and the winemaking process is carried out smoothly, in the most natural way possible and élevage is understated (with a low proportion of new casks). The quality of this work means they can produce wines with remarkable aromatic expression and excellent aging potential.
