Volnay Clos des Ducs Marquis d`Angerville 2008 is a Premier Cru red Burgundy from the Clos des Ducs monopole within the Volnay appellation. The domaine owns the entire 2.15-hectare walled vineyard, which is a steep, southeast-facing site with stony, calcareous soil and white marl clay. The challenging 2008 vintage, marked by a cool, wet spring, produced a wine with firm structure and significant ageing potential. It presents a nose of dark red cherry, game and forest floor, leading to a sappy, bright palate of red berries, minerality and a saline, energetic finish.

Game, leather, forest floor and black tea and peat smokiness are prominent in the nose of d’Angerville’s 2008 Volnay Clos Des Ducs in a way not approached by any of its siblings. Similarly, bittersweet, iris-like inner-mouth floral perfume lends a dimension dear to lovers of Volnay that was not in evidence in other d’Angerville 2008s, at least at this stage. These distinctions noted, there is red berry profusion here, too, and a sappy, energetic overall impression, encompassing a gripping finish, and with mineral diversity – chalk, salt, iodine, alkali, and I-don’t-know-what – that helps guarantee that this firmly and finely structured Volnay will remain dazzlingly complex, if handsomely lean, for the next 15 or more years. - David Schildknecht
