Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos des Ducs' 2020

The d’Angerville legacy is like no other. This prestigious cellar was one of the first in Burgundy to estate-bottle wines, a practice of which was practically unheard of in the region prior to the mid-20th century. Now helmed by the Marquis d’Angerville himself, this Volnay-based estate produces world-class wines from organically and biodynamically plots across the region, which are as sophisticated and exquisite as the hands that produce them. Clos de Ducs is an iconic monopole vineyard that’s been called “grand-cru worthy”—a rare opportunity to snag a bottle for yourself. Known for impeccable growing sites, old clones, and a minimalist winemaking mentality, Marquis d’Angerville is known as one of the purest producers in Volnay, crafting highly aromatic wines of deep complexity and aging potential. The 2020 ‘Clos des Ducs’ shows deliciously entwined notes of raspberry, tea, and violets, giving way to a racy, mineral-driven finish. Juicy and energetic flavors of bright cherries, smoky minerals, earth spice, red currants, and crushed flower petals dominate this hauntingly delicious palate. Detailed and complex; a highlight within Marquis d’Angerville’s portfolio of wines.
