Histoire du domaine
The buildings at Domaine de la Pousse d’Or date back to the 16th century and were remodelled in the 17th century. The history of the estate is accurately documented from the time of the French Revolution onwards. At that time, the vineyard situated in front of the estate bore the name of its owner, Pierre Clément Daudignac. Patrick Landanger acquired the estate in 1997 and invested in the vineyard, the winemaking facilities and the ageing cellars. His son Benoît joined him in 2013 to help with the winemaking. In 2018, Benoît Landanger took over the day-to-day management of the estate. The vineyard is now managed using biodynamic methods, and the wines are aged on the lees for up to 18 months.
Clos-de-la-Roche
Clos de la Roche is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically delimited winegrowing terroir located solely within the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis. Its area includes the lieu-dit Clos de la Roche, which is now devoid of walls despite its name, as well as all or part of six neighboring lieux-dits: Les Chabiots, Les Fremières, Les Froichots, Les Genavrières, Les Mochamps, and Monts Luisants. The parcels occupy the lower half of the Côte, between 270 and 300 meters in altitude, on shallow and well-draining soils. The east-facing exposure, sometimes slightly east-south-east, is officially described for all neighboring Grands Crus of Morey-Saint-Denis rather than for this single area alone.

Histoire de la parcelle
In 1860, the Viticultural Committee of the arrondissement of Beaune classified the lieu-dit Clos de la Roche and all or part of the neighboring lieux-dits as first class. The Clos de la Roche appellation d'origine contrôlée was recognized by the decree of December 8, 1936, with its area incorporating the main lieu-dit and neighboring parcels in accordance with historical usages. The terroir has long been divided among numerous owners, a land-ownership feature characteristic of this part of Morey-Saint-Denis.
