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.
Les Caillerets (Volnay)
Les Caillerets is an officially classified Premier Cru climat of the Volnay appellation, located on the hillside south of the village. Historically, it corresponds to the cadastral lieux-dits "En Cailleret" and "Cailleret Dessus" in section AW, and notably includes the Clos des 60 Ouvrées. The terrain has an eastern exposure, on a regular and well-draining slope, featuring fine silty-sandy clays mixed with abundant gravel. The altitude and geology data published by the interprofessional body pertain to the entire Volnay hillside and do not allow for precise detailing of the boundaries of this single climat.

Histoire de la parcelle
The name "En Cailleret" already appears in a royal estate land register dated 1507, alongside other Volnay climats still recognized today. Departmental archives note its toponymic and viticultural continuity, as well as the old saying, "He who has no vines in En Cailleret does not know what Volnay is worth." The climat "Les Caillerets" is today expressly listed among the climats that may accompany the Premier Cru designation in the official Volnay specifications.
