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

WS93
Rigid now, with cherry, mineral and smoke notes backed by burly tannins. Yet, it's elegant in stature, concentrated and built for the long haul. Closed up already, but be patient. Best from 2014 through 2028. 150…
WA91–93
One of the three batches that will be blended to make up d ‘Angerville’s 2005 Volnay Champans was still in malo, so I base my assessment on the other two. Scented with cherry and cassis, flowers and fungus, smoke and chalk dust, this displays richness and depth, fine tannins and emerging silkiness, and a youthfully firm but long finish loaded with savory subtleties. Just give it 6-8 years before revisiting. (The outstanding d’Angerville 2004s were also very late to finish malo, and the Champans is especially memorable for its vivid sauteed champignons, alluring ginger spice, marrowy richness, and flattering mouth feel, indeed comparable in quality though lacking the developmental potential of this 2005. As a striking example of mercantile bipolar disorder, I purchased this outstanding 2004 for $49.99 from a merchant whose price on the 2005 thus represented a 350% premium!)
