96 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$135 list] The 2009 Volnay Clos de la Bousse d'Or presents a wild, almost unrestrained expression of Volnay. It is a sumptuous wine graced with stunning beauty in its opulent fruit. This shows marvelous detail and clarity with palate staining intensity. Despite its richness, there is plenty of vibrancy and freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2049. (May 2011)"
93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A slightly more refined nose speaks of red berry fruit that is liberally laced with notes of cassis and blue berry while introducing rich and even more elegant medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a firm, long and serious finish that possesses real verve. This beauty should amply reward a decade of cellar time. Comments: Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink: 2019+. (May 2011)"
93 points Fine Wine Review: "The Volnay-Clos de la Bousse d’Or is less tannic than the previous wines with an elegant, flowing effect. I’d expect 2022-2052 for best drinking. (Issue #137; 2013)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$146 list] A firmly tannic wine, with balanced ripe fruit well under the structured layers. The weight of the wine comes from the rich and generous fruit, giving both acidity and black plum juice flavors. A wine for long-term aging. Cellar Selection. (Sep 2011)"
92 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Bright medium red. Lovely earthy perfume to the aromas of redcurrant, plum, tobacco and white truffle. More vibrant and less opulent than the Caillerets, showing excellent energy and definition to its sweet redcurrant, floral and spice flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and very good length and verve. (Mar 2012)"
A monopole of the domaine, this wine in known for its power, masculinity and structure.
