Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans 1er Cru 2023

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville’s Volnay Champans 1er Cru is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir from one of Volnay’s most respected names. Sourced from a prized Premier Cru site, it combines fragrant red and dark fruit with the finesse, structure, and length that have made d’Angerville a benchmark producer in Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a vivid, almost pixelated bouquet of red and dark berries, lifted by floral tones, potpourri, and subtle earthy sous-bois notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a touch of crunch on the attack, offering ripe fruit framed by firmer, less silky tannins than usual for Champans. This is a more structured and composed vintage of Champans, suggesting that it will reward patience. While already expressive aromatically, it should gain harmony and texture with time in bottle, developing the graceful complexity for which top Volnay is known.

Production
Champans is one of Volnay’s standout Premier Cru vineyards, known for producing wines with elegance, perfume, and a little more backbone than many expect from the appellation. The terroir typically gives Pinot Noir a fine balance of red-fruited delicacy and mineral structure, and in 2023 the wine reflects that combination with particularly clear definition and tension. As with the best Burgundy reds, the wine is made with careful parcel selection and restrained vinification to preserve site character, aromatic purity, and texture. The result is a wine that speaks clearly of its origin while remaining refined and ageworthy.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for dishes that complement Pinot Noir’s perfume and structure, such as roast duck, quail, game birds, veal, or mushroom-based dishes. It also pairs well with truffled preparations, roast chicken, and supple hard cheeses. Serve at around 15–17°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young to help the aromatics open up and soften the tannins.
