Domaine de La Pousse d'Or: Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru

Discover the majesty of Burgundy with the LA POUSSE D OR CORTON CLOS DU ROI ROUGE. This Grand Cru is a legendary bottling from the Côte de Beaune, hailing from a vineyard parcel once reserved for French royalty-the 'Clos du Roi' (King's Plot). Domaine de La Pousse d'Or crafts this 100% Pinot Noir with meticulous Biodynamic methods, yielding a wine of profound complexity, power, and exceptional longevity.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A deep, luxurious ruby hue.
• Aroma: The nose is complex and evolving, offering rich notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice, and a distinct minerality, often complemented by tertiary notes of forest floor and fine tobacco with bottle age.
• Taste: Exhibits a broad-shouldered structure typical of Corton, yet with the silky texture of top-tier Pinot Noir. The tannins are firm and refined, balanced by vibrant acidity and concentrated fruit, leading to a long, caressing finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This wine is best served slightly cool at 17-18°C (62-65°F). Decanting is recommended for younger vintages to allow the wine's complex structure to unfold.

• Pairing: Traditional Peppered Venison Loin with Red Wine Jus, Roast Grouse or Partridge, Beef Wellington, or strong, mature hard cheeses.
• Longevity: An excellent candidate for the cellar, capable of improving for well over a decade.
