Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs 2017

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville’s Volnay Clos des Ducs 2017 is a benchmark red Burgundy from one of the village’s most revered premier cru monopoles. This is the estate’s flagship wine: a pure, finely etched expression of Volnay elegance with impressive depth and structure. Combining pedigree, complexity, and aging potential, it’s a bottle that serious Burgundy lovers seek out year after year.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2017 Clos des Ducs shows a luminous, medium ruby color with youthful brightness at the rim. The nose unfolds slowly but assuredly, revealing sweet red berries, hints of grilled squash, dark chocolate, delicate rose petals, and a gently spicy, mineral-inflected undertone. On the palate, this is medium to full-bodied, silky, and beautifully layered. Juicy red cherry and wild strawberry are framed by subtle notes of cocoa, spice, and earth, carried by a fine, chalky minerality. The tannins are finknitted yet firm, giving the wine a precise, architectural feel without sacrificing charm or finesse. The finish is long, mineral, and persistent, suggesting a wine that will gain nuance and complexity over the next 10–20 years, rewarding both mid-term and longer cellaring.

Production
Clos des Ducs is a historic, walled premier cru monopole sitting on the upper slopes of Volnay, with thin, limestone-rich soils and excellent drainage that naturally produce low yields and highly refined, terroir-driven Pinot Noir. The site benefits from a slightly cooler, breezy exposition, which preserves acidity and aromatic lift. At Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, farming is meticulous and largely organic, with careful hand-harvesting at optimal ripeness to ensure pristine fruit. In the cellar, vinification is traditional and precise: gentle extraction, a thoughtful use of stems depending on the vintage, and élevage in French oak barrels (with a restrained proportion of new wood) to refine structure without overshadowing the vineyard’s signature elegance.

Food & Serving
This Volnay Clos des Ducs 2017 pairs beautifully with refined dishes that mirror its finesse: roasted duck breast, veal tenderloin, guinea fowl, or pigeon, as well as mushroom risotto, truffle-infused dishes, and delicate game birds. It also shines alongside earthy preparations such as wild mushroom fricassée or simply roasted root vegetables. Serve at 15–16°C (59–61°F) to highlight its aromatics and balance; a gentle decant of 45–60 minutes in its youth will help it open up, while older bottles may only need a brief carafe or serving directly from the bottle with care.
