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.
Meursault Santenots is a premier cru vineyard located in the commune of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. The vineyard is known for producing Chardonnay wines of richness, complexity, and aging potential.

Critics Ratings
‘Subtle pain grillé, ripe orchard fruit and straw aromas merge into rich, full and sweet flavors that possess excellent punch and vibrancy culminate in a firm and detailed finish of impressive persistence. There is good mid-palate fat that does a good job of buffering the firm acidity and the overall impression is one of fine balance and harmony.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound (Jul 2007)
‘Cask sample. Very low-key nose. Attractively juicy texture but very inexpressive at the moment. This needs to be waited for!’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Jan 2006)
