Tasting notes
Bright red with ruby highlights. Musky red raspberry, mocha and underbrush on the nose; more gamey and earthy and less fruity than the Clos de la Bousse d'Or. Silky on entry, then dense and rich in the middle, showing more thickness than the Bousse d'Or but less lift. Round and fairly large-scaled but does it have enough verve for extended cellaring?

(still full of gas following the late malolactic fermentation): Lovely lift to the aromas of black fruits and licorice. Suave, layered and precise, with nicely integrated acidity giving shape to the sweet fruit. Actually rather open-knit and ample wine, especially considering the CO2. Finishes seamless, subtle and very long.
The most animated, classic burgundian nose of Pousse d'Or's 2010 Volnays. Racy lively and with real energy here, as though the fruit had at last been concentrated enough to triumph over the winemaking. Good aromatic lift. This was the last to complete it malo so some dissolved carbon dioxide may be contributing to its appeal and apparent energy. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
