Tasting notes for the Volnay Champans 1er Cru 2018 - Marquis d'Angerville

  • EYE: The wine has an intense and deep ruby red color, typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety. Its color is brilliant, with purple reflections. The wine displays great clarity and density in the glass.
  • NOSE: Subtle aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry emerge, accompanied by subtle notes of dried flowers. Spicy nuances of cinnamon and cloves add depth. Earthy and subtle notes of undergrowth, truffle, and licorice bring a pleasant dimension.
  • MOUTH: Velvety and silky texture. The wine reveals an intensity of flavors with juicy and ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and raspberry, as well as hints of blackberry. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, providing an elegant structure. Spicy notes, licorice, and precious wood blend harmoniously with the fruity aromas. The finish is long, complex, and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness.

In short: This Volnay Champans 1er Cru 2018 from the Domaine Marquis d'Angerville is an incredible vintage that comes in a magnum bottle, which is rare for the estate. Its incredible aromatic bouquet and velvety palate make it a wine of great elegance. This wine can be enjoyed now to appreciate its intensity and richness, but it also has good aging potential. It can be cellared for 10 to 15 years or more to fully develop its complexity and refine its tannins. In terms of food pairing, Volnay Champans 1er Cru pairs wonderfully with delicate meat dishes such as veal fillet, roasted duck, or pigeon. It can also be enjoyed with soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.

Grands crus of Volnay

 

The very first mention of the Domaine Marquis d'Angerville and its vineyard was found in 1507, when it still belonged to the famous Dukes of Burgundy. At the time, the estate was known as the "Clos des Ducs". In 1804, the Baron du Mesnil bought the Volnay property, which is how it came into the d'Angerville family. Nearly a century later, in 1888, the Baron's great-grandnephew, Sem d'Angerville, inherited the estate.

He waited until 1906 to become its full-time manager. The Clos des Ducs had been completely abandoned after the phylloxera epidemic that had ravaged the vineyard during the late 19th century. Sem brought it back on its feet and founded the Domaine du Marquis d'Angerville. As a fierce advocate for authentic wines, he decided to embottle his own production, going against the dubious ethics of various Beaune merchants.

In his fight against appellation fraud, he helped create the Institut National des Appellations (current INAO), founded in 1935. When he died in 1952, his son Jacques d'Angerville was next in line to take care of the family domain. In love with quality products and involved in many professional wine institutions like Sem was, Jacques solidified the reputation of the estate and dedicated his entire life to Volnay.

In 2003, the current owner Guillaume d'Angerville, is continuing his father's work. Named "Major Burgundian Producer of the 20th Century" by the wine guide Bettane & Desseauve, he represents the sixth generation at the helm of the Domaine Marquis d'Angerville. Seeing the rise of organic winemaking techniques in 2003, he decided to switch to biodynamics three years later, adding some modernity to ancestral family customs.
