Tasting notes for the Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru 2021 - Marquis d'Angerville (Magnum)

  • EYE: This Clos des Ducs immediately catches the eye with its robe of intense ruby, radiating youthfulness. The clear and brilliant aspect of this wine delivers an engaging visual experience, a prelude to a sensory journey.
  • NOSE: From the first moments, the aromatic complexity of this nectar unfolds. Red fruit aromas, predominantly cherry and raspberry, delicately intertwine with subtle floral notes. Meticulous aging reveals discreet yet present woody nuances, adorned with a delicate spicy touch, bestowing richness and depth to its bouquet.
  • MOUTH: Refined and balanced structure. The tannins, of exemplary finesse, elegantly envelop the palate. The freshness of red fruits persists, accompanied by a subtle minerality that brings a beautiful complexity to the whole. The long and memorable finish leaves a slightly spicy and woody imprint in the mouth, inviting contemplation.

 

In short: The Volnay "Clos des Ducs" 1er Cru 2021 from the Marquis d'Angerville impresses with its balance and delicacy. Ready to be enjoyed now, it also reveals a promising aging potential, evolving harmoniously over 10-12 years. Plus, the magnum format allows for a slower maturation of the wine, perfect for enhancing aromas in the cellar. To accompany this exceptional wine, we suggest fine dishes such as roasted duck, truffle risotto, or beef fillet with morel mushrooms.

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.
