La Pousse d'Or is a celebrated domaine in Volnay, made famous buy Gerard Potel who owned the vineyard from 1964 until he had to sell in the late 1990s. After a tricky patch the wines are back on form: the estate has recently been revitalized by Patrick Landanger, whose debut vintage was 1999.

Landanger is a quality fanatic who takes great care in both the vineyard and winery. He is interested in biodynamics. The dedication to quality is evidenced by the fact that the entire 2001 harvest from 2001 was declassified to Volnay Villages level after hailstorms struck in August just before the vintage.

Pousse d'Or owns three monopoles (where the entire vineyard has only one owner): Clos de la Bousse d'Or, Clos des 60 Ouvrées and Clos d'Audignac.
