About this Item

Volnay 1er Cru Clos Des Ducs & Les Taillepieds, 2004
4 (2 x 2) 750ml

Complex, elegant and long-ageing, the wines of Domaine Marquis d'Angerville in Volnay are testament to one of the great domaines in Burgundy. From 1952 until his death in 2003, Jacques d’Angerville made his family domaine the flag bearer of Volnay. As Allen Meadows writes, his winemaking methods were ‘minimalist in the extreme’. A non-interventionist winemaker, as his father before him, Jacques allowed the domaine’s fine terroirs to be fully expressed in his wines. Rather putting his efforts into the vines, he trusted in great parcels and old vines of a unique clone, ‘Pinot d’Angerville’. The domaine holds four Crus: Fremiets, on the border or Pommard, Champans, Taillepieds, and the great d’Angerville monopole Clos des Ducs. Very littles has changed since Guillaume d’Angerville took over from his father in 2003. His wines possess the magic from his father’s legacy and, today, the demand for d’Angerville cuvées might even be greater than in Jacques’ day.

This lot consists of the following wines:
Marquis D’Angerville 1er Cru Volnay Clos des Ducs Monopole 2004
Marquis D’Angerville 1er Cru Volnay Taillepieds 2004

Critics Ratings

Marquis D’Angerville 1er Cru Volnay Clos des Ducs Monopole 2004
‘An elegant, fine and pure nose offers up the classic dried rose petal and mineral-infused aromatic profile gives way to wonderfully transparent and strikingly focused middle weight flavors that are linear, vibrant and suffused with that particular limestone and chalk quality of all great Clos des Ducs. This is not the most concentrated example that I have seen of this wine but it is genuinely one of the most refined and elegant, all wrapped in a slightly edgy finish that should round out with time in bottle.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Apr 2007)

Marquis D’Angerville 1er Cru Volnay Taillepieds 2004
‘A slight malic note on the nose. Racy. Very fresh fruit. Leaner than the Champans, but still quite broad and dense and very, very lively. Certainly fresh!’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2006)
