Tasting notes for the Volnay "Clos des Ducs" 1er Cru 2008 - Marquis d'Angerville (Magnum)

  • EYE: This Volnay, presented in a large magnum format, reveals a robe of radiant ruby with slightly evolved reflections. The clarity of the color suggests subtle maturity, while the density in the glass promises a delightful tasting experience.
  • NOSE: The bouquet unfolds with subtle intensity. Red fruit aromas, such as cherry and raspberry, intermingle with notes of undergrowth and licorice. The well-integrated barrel aging adds slightly spicy and vanilla nuances, complementing the whole in a very elegant manner.
  • MOUTH: This 2008 vintage impresses with its refined structure. The tannins, though present, are polished and silky, offering a velvety texture. Ripe red fruits persist, accompanied by subtle touches of cedar and tobacco. A delicate minerality brings a welcome freshness, balancing the wine's complex profile. The persistent and blossomed finish leaves an impression of finesse.

 

In short: This Volnay "Clos des Ducs" 1er Cru 2008 from the Domaine Marquis d'Angerville symbolizes a kind of discreet elegance. Ready to be experienced, this wine also has a nice aging potential. Thanks to its magnum format, it has benefited from a slower maturation and can continue to evolve over the next 5 to 10 years. In terms of pairing, consider dishes such as veal roast with morel mushrooms, grilled duck fillet, or a creamy cheese.

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.
