Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Opulent, refined and very expressive—another limited, impressive selection and a stunning older-vine grand cru with decades ahead of it. "Deep red-ruby. Highly expressive, site-specific aromas of blackberry, licorice, mint, dried herbs and underbrush. Boasts excellent flavor intensity and a distinctly primary character, with the crushed blackberry flavors conveying an impression of strong energy. This very long, saline wine has excellent grip without coming off as hard."—Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
One of Chambolle's more silky, subtle wines—in 2009 this is rich and silky, with characteristic minerality that comes from the vineyard's pure limestone subsoils. It's also a grand cru in disguise; "Amoreuses" borders grand cru Musigny to the southwest.

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A gorgeous premier cru with a lacy texture and penetrating Pinot fruit aromas. "Charmes" when young delivers bright red fruits (strawberries and pomegranate) yet with age picks up more sensual, earthy tones. "Deep ruby-red. Wild but subdued aromas of kirsch, violet and underbrush. Fat, broad, rich and sweet…Finishes with dusty tannins and a lingering note of licorice."—Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
The combination of this vineyard's very old vines and stony, mineral terroir makes "Feusselottes" not only a must-have in 2009 (given its extra layer of ripe fruit) but also an ideal wine for the cellar. A textbook Chambolle with power and finesse. " Smoky aromas of plum, currant, menthol, mocha and game…Best today on the more shapely finish, which features good, minerally lift, a saline element and finer, more horizontal tannins…"—Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Groseilles 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A delicious berry salad on the nose and palate ("groseilles" are currants; it's uncanny how the wine's aromas reflect the vineyard name!) and plenty of silky texture and supple fruit. "Aromas of crushed cherry and licorice show some very ripe qualities but are nicely lifted by a peppery element. Juicy, spicy and nicely delineated, with good cut but only moderate density to the dark fruit and pepper flavors."—Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle-Musigny 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A classic, pure and aromatic Chambolle. A rich, ruby hue in the glass; aromas are precise and refined, with suggestions of red berries and spring violets. Flavors are smooth and silky, with supple tannins and plenty of rich Pinot fruit. An elegant, beautiful village wine that far outperforms its station, from an older-vine vineyard with impeccable limestone terroir.
