[SOLD-OUT] Pousse Santenay Premier Cru Clos Tavannes 2012

ORGANIC PREMIER CRU SANTENAY, "CLOS TAVENNES" BY PRODUCER OF THE YEAR 2016 (BOURGOGNE AU JOURD 'HUI). THIS IS A SUPERB AGED BURGUNDY.

"One third of the vines date back to planting in 1920 in this 2.09 hectare vineyard. Arguably the finest and most prestigious Burgundy house in Volnay, Domaine de la Pousse d’Or was originally called Bousse d’Or or ‘Golden Earth’. Diligent green harvest and selection leads to very low yields. Mechanical sorting precedes manual sorting, and then the grapes are destemmed. Wine sees a week of cold soak then three weeks maceration. The wines are then moved into 30% new oak and are bottled 15-18 months later, depending on the vintage.

 

The 2012 vintage in Burgundy is often characterised by notably ripe fruit, and this wine is very much an expression of its vintage. A brilliant garnet colour with a rich spicy nose with hints of wild berries. An elegant but deep palate." - Domaine Wine Shippers
 
"It has a lovely bouquet with fresh ripe blackberry and raspberry leaf - very fine definition and intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, hints of brown sugar in the background of the red berry fruit. Soft and generous with a pleasing rounded finish... these 2012s from La Pousse d'Or are worth seeking out." - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
