Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: There is excellent mid-palate density to the impressively rich and solidly powerful flavors that are supported by plenty of firm structure that is largely buffered by the buckets of sap before culminating in a long and serious if not especially elegant finale.

• Wine Spectator: This has notes of plum, milk chocolate and spice, with dense yet polished tannins leaving a grainy effect accentuating the chocolate. Terrific length on the finish, with a burst of fruit and spice.

Producer Information

Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is a Burgundy producer focusing on Pinot Noir from highly regarded vineyards in the Cte du Beaune. The domaine gained fame in the 1920s when it began to make and bottle its own wine, at a time when the common practice was for levage and bottling to take place in the hands of ngociants. Marquis d’Angerville circumvented the ngociants entirely by commercializing its own wine, becoming one of the leading producers to do so. The domaine has eight premier cru vineyards in Volnay, as well as one each in Meursault and Pommard. All of its top sites are planted to Pinot Noir, with the exception of the premier cru Meursault Santenots vineyard, which is planted to Chardonnay. This vineyard is unique in that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are both permitted to be planted, but the Pinot Noir carries a Volnay Santenots designation, while the Meursault is reserved for white wine. The Marquis d’Angerville holdings here come from the Plures section of the vineyard. Domaine Marquis d’Angerville’s vineyard holdings total less than 15 hectares (37 acres), which includes the prized monopole Clos Des Ducs. The domaine rounds out its premier cru and village wines with a Bourgogne Blanc, Rouge and Aligot. In 2012 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville expanded into Jura with the purchase of vineyards and the establishment of Domaine du Plican. The Angerville family is leasing the majority of the vineyards of famed vin jaune producer Jacques Puffeney. The estate also boasts a particular, small-berried clone of Pinot Noir, known as Pinot d’Angerville, that has been propagated by the regional wine trade body, the BIVB.
