  • Goedhuis, November 2017

    Sweet, brooding, wild dark fruit aromas. This great vineyard has produced a beautifully expressive, exemplary wine in 2016. It has an abundance of deep fruit, with a grainy tannic depth. A very full wine, with a long life ahead of it.

  • Neal Martin, December 2017, Score: 94-96

    The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs, the famous monopole of the domaine that ostensibly forms Guillaume d’Angerville’s back garden, unequivocally possesses the most complex bouquet this year with mineral-drenched black fruit, briary, cinnamon, cold Alpine stream, strawberry pastilles and orange zest. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. This is very pure and focused, a fine backbone here but there is enormous length as it fans out. There is something noble about this wine…or should I say, ducal? Drink 2022-2055

  • Burghound, April 2018, Score: 93-95

    Interestingly, this seems to possess elements of all three of the preceding wines as the cool and ultra-elegant nose exhibits a broad range of spice and floral elements on the black cherry and plum-suffused aromas. There is almost painful intensity to the chiseled, focused and stony medium weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the youthfully austere, powerful and very serious finish. This is very clearly built to age and a wine that should really not be touched for at least a decade. In a word, terrific. Don't miss! Outstanding. Drink 2031+

  • Stephen Tanzer, January 2018, Score: 93-96

    Dark ruby. Complex but youthfully restrained aromas of cassis, blueberry, violet and licorice, with a spicy element that Guillaume d'Angerville attributes to the vineyard. Superconcentrated wine with compelling sweetness and energy. An impeccably balanced, potentially great Volnay. Guillaume d'Angerville believes that the vines' windy situation high up on the hillside protected them against the frost in April.

  • Decanter, January 2018, Score: 94

    The 2016 Clos des Ducs displays a superb nose of raw cocoa, plum, wild red berries, black cherry and roast coffee, with savoury suggestions of the roast squab to come. On the palate the wine is supple, fine-grained and fullish, with lovely stony tension, bright fruit and concentration. This doesn’t have the power of the Champans, but its elegance and quiet depth win it the title of king of the cellar. Drink 2026-2045

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.

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.
