La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos d'Audignac Monopole 2022
From the prestigious Domaine de la Pousse d'Or in Volnay, the Clos d'Audignac Monopole 2022 is a refined red from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from a 1.07-hectare walled vineyard on clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented with 20% whole clusters. Aged 18 months in French oak (30% new), it offers a ruby hue and exceptional elegance, reflecting the stellar 2022 vintage.
Winemaking Process
La Pousse d'Or’s biodynamic approach shines in this wine. The 2022 vintage undergoes gentle fermentation in stainless steel and oak vats, with minimal punch-downs to preserve fruit purity. Aging for 18 months in 30% new French oak barrels enhances structure, creating a harmonious Premier Cru with silky tannins and long aging potential.
