Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Fremiets 1er Cru 2020

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville’s Volnay Fremiets 1er Cru 2020 is a graceful, highly perfumed Pinot Noir that captures the elegance Volnay is loved for. Sourced from one of the appellation’s most respected Premier Cru sites, it combines precision, finesse, and a quietly powerful presence that reflects the domaine’s long-standing reputation for producing some of Burgundy’s most refined wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a translucent ruby hue in the glass, with an aromatic profile that is immediately expressive and beautifully composed. Notes of rose petals, red cherries, raspberries, and a delicate thread of incense give the nose a lifted, sensual quality, while the palate feels light on its feet yet impeccably structured. There is a fine line of acidity that carries the wine with balance and poise, leading to a finish that is pure, airy, and almost ballet-like in its movement. A subtle saline note lingers on the aftertaste, adding freshness and making the wine especially moreish. While already charming in its youth, it has the concentration and structure to evolve gracefully over the next several years.

Production
Fremiets is one of Volnay’s notable Premier Cru vineyards, known for soils that help bring out Pinot Noir’s perfume, delicacy, and mineral precision. The 2020 vintage was harvested early, around 23 August, reflecting the season’s warm, fast-paced ripening cycle and the domaine’s careful timing to preserve freshness and balance. Vinification at Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is guided by a restrained, terroir-driven philosophy, aimed at preserving purity of fruit and the nuanced expression of site. The result is a wine that feels transparent and articulate, with each element of the vineyard’s character clearly etched into the glass.

Food & Serving
This Volnay pairs beautifully with roast duck, quail, guinea fowl, and classic Burgundy dishes such as coq au vin or mushroom tart. It also works well with salmon, veal, and earthy vegetarian plates featuring wild mushrooms or root vegetables. Serve slightly cool, around 15-16°C, and consider decanting for 30-45 minutes if drinking young to help the aromatics open fully.
