The Winery

Marquis d’Angerville

As a highly regarded producer in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, Marquis d’Angerville is as historic as most of the wineries in the region and dates back to 1507. The domaine did not become renown until the 1920s when it began to produce wine commercially without a négociant, and they were one of the first leading producers to do so. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that Marquis d’Angerville produces come from eight premier cru vineyards spread through mostly Volnay with some also located in Meursault and Pommard. Although most of the top sites are planted to Pinot Noir, the premier cru vineyard of Meursault Santenots is planted to both varieties, but must be labeled according to different designations. Although their vineyard holdings are less than 37 acres, included in their parcels is the prized monopole of Clos Des Ducs. In more recent news, the domaine expanded into the Jura region when they purchased the Domaine du Pélican and its estate vineyards. Today, the winery is ruun by Guillaume d’Angerville with a combination of modernity and preservation of essential values to complement their complex bottlings.

Tasting Notes

BH93
The `90 has always struck me as a somewhat atypical Clos des Ducs without the supreme elegance it normally displays. The color is still quite dark with no bricking while displaying notably ripe and completely secondary fruit (though it stops just short of the roasted surmaturité that marks many `90s), along with notes of earth and a hint of sous-bois. This is markedly large-scaled Ducster and one that remains quite structured but with good supporting extract on the rich, bold and impressively powerful flavors that are delicious and hugely long if unusually robust as the tannins are on the chunky side. This is a dramatic effort that is undeniably extraordinary for its size, weight and power though I confess that it is not really my cup of Clos des Ducs. That said, I suspect that most people would find the `90 to be an imposing and altogether persuasive effort and on the positive side, this should continue to age effortlessly for many years to come. I have had this any number of times and my scores have varied from 92 to 95 depending on the integration of the tannins and overall sense of balance.
