Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, a historic estate in Volnay, is renowned for producing wines that epitomize the elegance and finesse of Burgundy.

• WINEMAKER: Guillaume d'Angerville
• FARMING: Certified biodynamic practices
• VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
• TERROIR: Sourced from various plots within the commune of Volnay, including Grandes Lands, Petits Prés, Grandes Terres, Condemaine, and Céquenceain. These vineyards are characterized by deep, clay-rich soils, with vines averaging 30 years in age, contributing to the wine's depth and complexity.
• VINIFICATION: Vinified with the same care as the domaine's Premier Cru wines, employing traditional fermentation methods to preserve the purity of fruit and expression of terroir.
• AGING: Aged in French oak barrels (used) for 12-15 months, allowing for integration of flavors and development of complexity without imparting dominant oak characteristics.
• TASTING NOTES: A vibrant purple hue of medium depth. The nose is striking, with a burst of Pinot fruit, complemented by subtle meaty undertones from the Gamay component. On the palate, it offers crunchy strawberry fruit, lively acidity, and a persistent finish, showcasing remarkable balance and elegance for this level.
• FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, duck confit, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms or truffles.
• SCORES:
  • 90 points – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Just bottled before the harvest. A pretty purple of medium depth, but it is the nose which is striking with a burst of pinot fruit, backed by a little meatiness from the gamay. The latter also delivers more acidity. Crunchy strawberry fruit at the back, absolutely lovely. If you want a brilliant bottle from chez d’Angerville at an affordable price, look no further. Really a very persistent finish for this level."
