Marquis d'Angerville 2018
Magnum Mixed Case
.
“Beautifully ripe tannins have come to compensate for a lower than usual acidity and give excellent balance and energy to the wines.”
Guillaume d’Angerville
.
Guillaume d’Angerville describes the 2018s as “dense, concentrated and outgoing (like the season), but… also fresh, fluid and long.” 2018 was a dry, sunny, and warm vintage. Guillaume quote sets the scene for a vintage in which, as he says, “it became definitively clear to us that… we would have to entirely re-think our vinegrowing and vinification processes to adapt to these new weather and seasonal patterns: a new paradigm.”
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is a jewel of Volnay. The estate’s ownership by the Dukes of Burgundy in the 12th century is acknowledged in the name of its most illustrious vineyard, the premier cru monopole Clos des Ducs. Since 1804, the estate has been owned by one family.
The highly respected Jacques d’Angerville placed the wines firmly on the global stage during the second half of the 20th century. Following his premature death in 2003, he was succeeded by his son, Guillaume d’Angerville, who represents the family’s fifth generation.
Guillaume d’Angerville converted the estate to biodynamics. He works alongside his brother-in-law, Renaud de Villette, who assisted Jacques d’Angerville for many years, and François Duvivier, the domaine’s Régisseur.
The d’Angerville family has always been closely involved in Burgundian professional associations and in this, Guillaume is no exception, being president of the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne, which successfully applied for the vineyards of the Côte d’Or to be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

VOLNAY 1ER CRU LES CAILLERETS
The domaine’s 0.65 hectare holding in Caillerets includes a recently added parcel of 60+ year-old vines, which now accounts for almost a third of the total. A dark, mineral driven nose, brooding at first but quickly revealing a more playful raspberry-fruited aspect. The palate has intricate yet muscular tannins, substantial yet so refined. The overall impression is wonderfully lifted and fresh (especially for a supposedly ‘lower-acidity’ vintage!) 15- 20% new oak, which just needs time to knit, hence the score range.
Corney & Barrow Score 17.5 – 18+
Recommended drinking from 2026 – 2036.

VOLNAY 1ER CRU CHAMPANS
The domaine has four hectares of Champans, in two plots, making this its largest holding. Whilst the soils at the top resemble mineral-laden Caillerets, the bottom is deeper and more iron-rich. The aromas here are as soaringly pretty as hoped, finely detailed rose petals and a tickle of spice. The palate has tender, supple raspberry fruit, essence of Pinot, with filigree-fine tannins working their magic. An exciting mineral charge brings the long finish into focus.
Corney & Barrow Score 18
Recommended drinking from 2025 – 2036+

VOLNAY 1ER CRU TAILLEPIEDS
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville owns over a hectare of Taillepieds, a cooler slope to the south of the village. It has a white marl sub-soil (which François Duvivier says gives mineral tension), with 30-40cm of brown earth (providing a lightness of touch). 0.6 hectares were replanted in 2015 and have been used sparingly in the blend. A lifted nose of raspberry and sweet cherries. A lovely sucrosity of fruit on the palate, raspberry coulis and sweet spice – perhaps unusual for Taillepieds but delightful – with a plump richness and bright, deep, dark berries.
Corney & Barrow Score 18++
Recommended drinking from 2027 – 2037+
