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 the two parcels (Les Pluchots, and Les Grands Champs) totaling 0.47 hectares, located on the edge of the Volany 1ers. The first eight or so harvests sometimes incorporate grapes from the recently planted Volnay 1er cru vineyards. Les Pluchots was replanted in 2018 and Les Grands Champs is relativly old vines. Aged without new oak to keep freshness and liveliness."

The 2024 blend includes some fruit from 1ers Crus Pitures and Mitans.
