About this Item
Complex, elegant and long-ageing, the wines of Domaine Marquis d'Angerville in Volnay are testament to one of the great domaines in Burgundy. From 1952 until his death in 2003, Jacques d’Angerville made his family domaine the flag bearer of Volnay. As Allen Meadows writes, his winemaking methods were ‘minimalist in the extreme’. A non-interventionist winemaker, as his father before him, Jacques allowed the domaine’s fine terroirs to be fully expressed in his wines. Rather putting his efforts into the vines, he trusted in great parcels and old vines of a unique clone, ‘Pinot d’Angerville’. The domaine holds four Crus: Fremiets, on the border or Pommard, Champans, Taillepieds, and the great d’Angerville monopole Clos des Ducs. Very littles has changed since Guillaume d’Angerville took over from his father in 2003. His wines possess the magic from his father’s legacy and, today, the demand for d’Angerville cuvées might even be greater than in Jacques’ day.

Critics Ratings
A beautifully expressive nose of red and blue pinot fruit also offers notes of earth, plum and violets. There is good energy to the detailed and utterly delicious flavors that offer excellent depth and fine length for its level. This is highly recommended if you're in the market for entry level "drink it anytime" burgundy but in this case, it will age too if desired. This is one to strongly consider.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound (April 2013)
