Tasting of 2013's at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or

Introduction

A brief run through of part of the 2013 Cote de Beaune range. If these wines are representative, it seems as the though the wood treatment has been scaled back compared to the wines of the early 2000s in the period shortly after Patrick Landanger took the reins. With the exception of handling all of the wine gently via gravity filtration, this is very high technology winemaking reflective of the owner's engineering background. It would have been nice to taste the Bousse d'Or and at least a few of the newer Cote de Nuits holdings, but the quantities are very small (2 barrels in the case of the Bonnes Mares, we were told), and I guess we didn't look like wealthy Russian oligarchs.
