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.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2018 Volnay Clos des Angles 1er Cru comes from a vintage after which half the vineyard was uprooted due to the aged vines that were planted in the 1950s. It has quite an intense bouquet of blueberry and wild strawberry fruit, a little more precocious than the Les Fremiets. The pure, poised palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and flavors of black cherry and strawberry pastilles. Very smooth toward the finish, which feels caressing. This Clos des Angles will be approachable and difficult to resist in its youth.
