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.

Coming from different plots located in the commune of Volnay, in its eastern part, which is not on the hillside. The soils are quite deep, very clayey and not very calcareous. Historically, the Domaine Marquis d'Angerville exploited around 85 ares of red Burgundy in two plots (Grandes lands and Petits Prés). In 2019, the opportunity arose to acquire an additional hectare, also in several plots, close to our historic plots (Grandes Terres, Condemaine, Céquenceain). Vinified with the same care as the Premier Crus and Village appellations. The vines are sufficiently old (around 30 years on average) to give all their potential to the wine produced."

William Kelley:

"Notes of sweet red berries and a subtle hint of smoked meats introduce the 2023 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, a medium-bodied, lively wine with more depth of fruit and structure than the approachable Passetoutgrains."
