    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay, Clos des Ducs, 1er Cru, 2005

    As usual the most brooding and closed of d'Angerville's wines, the huge potential is clear to see, though, with its mutli-layered cherry, forest berry and rock mineral characteristics. Structured, towering, full-blooded yet greatly sophisticated.

    The 2010 Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru is just a joy from start to finish. It has an alluring, open and crystalline bouquet that blossoms in the glass, vivacious red fruit, touches of damp undergrowth and spellbinding mineralité. Touches of shucked oyster shells develop with time. The palate is beautifully balanced with more depth on the mid-palate than either the Champans and Taillepieds 2010 tasted alongside. It possesses the backbone you expect from a Clos des Ducs with a touch of sour cherry lending race on the sustained finish. Wonderful. Tasted at the Marquis d'Angerville tasting in London.
