Tasting Notes
-
Burghound, December 2002,
Score: 94Quite ripe with more black fruit than usual as well as bigger and richer flavors than is typical. However the '99 manages to preserve the hallmark purity, detail and minerality plus it delivers the same superb length as the Taillepieds. Stunningly complex and impeccably balanced, this should age for a long time. A truly great Clos des Ducs. Drink: 2009+.

Burghound, April 2001,
Score: 92-951999 Volnay "Clos des Ducs": Fantastically spicy nose though it took some gentle coaxing to reveal it as this was initially more closed than the Taillepieds. Bigger and richer than is normally the case with Clos des Ducs yetit preserves the wonderfully purity and minerality, which are the hallmarks of a classic Ducster. It shares the same superb length as the Taillepieds and this should ultimately take its rightful place with some of the best Clos des Ducs of all time. A genuinely great wine. Drink: 2009+.Comments: outstanding!

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville

Arriving at the family Château in Volnay and standing in the famed Clos des Ducs overlooking the village and its other 1er crus below always gives me a huge thrill. This is everything that Burgundy is all about; history dating back to 1507, and back to 1804 for the Angerville family and their ancestors, great breeding in some of the finest vineyards in the Cote d'Or and finally anability to make Pinot Noir at its very purist and best.
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
