Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay, Clos des Angles, 1er Cru, 2015

Soft, rounded delicate flavours, although with a complexity over and above that of the village Volnay. Scented notes of ripe summer berry, damson and victoria plum with a gentle creamy texture. Flavoursome and with great Volnay charm, there is a certain substance to it without being too full-bodied. The best Clos des Angles the domaine have made. This walled vineyard sits at the beginning of the slope on the Beaune side of Volnay and was purchased by Guillaume d’Angervile in 2006, making it the Domaine’s first vineyard expansion since 1906.

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

(from very old vines: one parcel was planted in the 1950s and the estate purchased another 0.5 hectare of similar age in 2007): Medium ruby. Inviting violet lift to the aromas of blackberry, cassis and bitter chocolate. Wonderfully dense and sweet, conveying superb inner-mouth lift to its flavors of dark berries and bitter chocolate. Finishes with substantial late-arriving tannins and lovely lingering sweetness of fruit. Nothing hard about this beauty.
