Domaine Marquis D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru 2017

Made from two parcels in the Volnay Premier Cru appellation which total almost one hectare: Les Mitans (0.65 hectare) and Les Pitures (0.31 hectare), and depending on the vintage, sometimes young vines from Têtes de Cuvée plots such as Clos des Ducs, Champans or Taillepieds are included. Les Mitans (the plot is located in the climat previously called Ormeau), is located at the lower limit of the premier crus of Volnay, in fairly deep soil. The soil of Pitures, adjacent to Clos des Ducs, halfway up the slope, is marly limestone.

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.
