Marquis d'Angerville - Bourgogne Rouge 2021

Add to Wish List

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 acres 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.

Marquis d'Angerville Description

We’ve been fans of Domaine Marquis d’Angerville for as long as we’ve loved Burgundy and 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, farmed immaculately, and is producing some of the best wines in the entire Cote d’Or.

Decanter: 91 Points

Fragrant, floral nose and a palate balancing power and delicacy. Average vine age is 30 years with the domaine adding 1ha in 2019, virtually doubling its holdings. D'Angerville's Bourgogne Rouge plot (Petit Près) lies below the lieu-dit of Les Pluchôts. Delicate and pure, this is a wine to savour over the next three years.
