The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées has an elegant bouquet with perfumed, violet-tinged black and red fruit, well defined with touches of brown spice and iris emerging with time. This shows a pleasing restraint. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit on the entry, well-judged acidity, then toughening up a little toward a structured and almost Pommard-like finish that suggests that it will need several years in bottle.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées has a very rich and opulent bouquet with layers of cassis and blueberry fruit. The palate is dense and tannic with grippy tannin (a leitmotif for La Pousse d'Or's 2015s) with a dense, broody finish. It does not quite "sing" as I would have liked and I am seeking more Pinoté as exuded by the 2014 last year. Hopefully this will meliorate by the time of bottling.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées from Domaine de la Pousse d'Or has quite a showy, floral bouquet that is a little oaky at the moment and does not really express the vineyard. A light chalk dust scent evolves with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red fruit, a gentle grip in the mouth and bitter cherry and orange rind lacing the strawberry fruit although like many other Volnay wines this vintage, it feels a little clipped toward the finish. This does not fulfill the potential it was showing from barrel, but hopefully it will meliorate with bottle age. Tasted September 2017.

The 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrees has a very harmonious bouquet with blackberry, cassis and hints of sandalwood: very well defined at with great intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, tensile tannins. There is great energy here, very detailed with a pointed, citric finish that has more freshness than you need. Just as thrilling as it tasted in barrel.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées 2011 has a very attractive, ebullient floral bouquet with dried rose petals and lavender infusing the crushed strawberry and raspberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a keen thread of acidity; taut and linear and yet with great intensity on the sophisticated, intellectual finish. The terroir shows really well here – a Volnay with plenty of panache and pedigree. You can approach this now, but it will improve. This is one of the best Volnays out there.
