Notes from Grand Cru Selections:

"While there are other excellent expressions of Volnay, for us the identity of the village is encapsulated here. A list of their holdings touches all of the village’s great terroirs, including one of the most picturesque vineyards in Volnay and a monopole of the estate, Clos des Ducs. The domaine started bottling its own production in the 1920s after the current Marquis’ grandfather, Sem d’Angerville, stood up to the negociants’ corrupt blending practices. As a result and in defiance of them, he became one of the first Burgundy domains to estate bottle their wines. Today the estate is led by Guillaume d’Angerville and his daughter Margot, farmed immaculately, and is producing some of the best wines in the entire Cote d’Or.

Made from a plot located in the town of Volnay, on its eastern part, which is not on the hillside. The soils are quite deep, very clayey and not very calcareous. Domaine Marquis d'Angerville had two plots totaling around 40 acres located in the locality of Monpoulain. In 2019, the opportunity arose to acquire a contiguous plot with an area of approximately 22 acres."

Jasper Morris:

"Pale colour, a classical Aligoté bouquet with its slightly acrid grape skins. What has changed is the degree of flesh in the middle of the mouth and the ripeness of the finish. Some lemon and orange blossom notes are now more prevalent than lime.."
