About this Item

2010 Pommard 1er Cru Combes-Dessus
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

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

‘The 2010 Pommard Combes-Dessus is wonderfully juicy in its expressive red fruit. This is perhaps the most supple, forward and engaging of the domaine's 2010s at this stage, which isn't entirely surprising. Accordingly, the wine should drink nicely right out of the gate. Drinking window 2016 - 2025.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 90-92/100 (Feb 2012)
