A unique site that, depending on the grape variety, shares the designation of 1er cru with its neighbor, Volnay. The plot is located north of the village of Meursault, between Meursault and Volnay, and the soil, very marly, lends itself to both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Domaine Marquis d'Angerville has a beautiful plot of 1.05 hectares planted with Chardonnay since 1905, originally by Sem d'Angerville, who wanted to vinify a white premier cru. Made without excessive battonage to give extra energy and tension.
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.
