Volnay, Clos des Angles, 1er Cru, 2017
Aromatic, generous and alluring. A Volnay of charm and seduction that softly cloaks your palate in silky plum, damson and fresh forest berry fruit. As juicy and sumptuous as it is smooth. Expressive and beautifully weighted. When the chance to purchase vines in this fabulous Clos came up in 2006, Guillaume d'Angerville jumped at the chance, making it the domaine's first vineyard expansion since 1906. The first vintage under its own label was 2008. The vineyard's soil is deep but there is a gentle slope to ensure good drainage.
critic reviews
Wafting from the glass with beautiful aromas of rose petal, violets, cherries and raspberries, the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles is medium-bodied, ample and charming, with an exuberantly expressive core of pure, succulent fruit, framed by fine, chalky tannins.
The 2017 Volnay Clos des Angles 1er Cru shows quite a bit of reduction on the nose tasting it from barrel. The palate is more compact than the Volnay Premier Cru, more muscular, although I find it needs a little more grace towards the finish. Give this two or three years once in bottle.
