A recent tasting at the Goring in London of Marquis d'Angerville's wines was a fascinating affair. Centre stage were the 2011s, which tasted every bit as good as they did in November 2012.
A seamless poise and sensuality are the hallmarks of the best red Burgundy 2011s and those of
d'Angerville are brimming with both. However it was not only the vintage that was talking, each wine had its own personality, which is always reassuring in any Burgundy tasting. Under the stewardship of Guillaume d'Angerville the wines have a level of finesse they did not before, whilst losing none of their character. In fact if anything this character has been enhanced, quite some a achievement. Perhaps the two biggest beneficiaries over the last 8 years have been the Fremiets and the Champans, both of which have gained in stature and intensity. Apart from completing the full move to Biodynamics, Guillaume was at pains to point out that there have been no wholesale changes at the Domaine, only several minor "tweaks."
