Volnay Clos des Ducs 2012 from Domaine Marquis d`Angerville is a monopole Premier Cru red Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune. This wine reflects d`Angerville`s classical commitment to finesse, employing minimal new oak and an emphasis on textural elegance from this high-quality parcel. This tight fragrant profile offers concentrated aromas of red cherry, violet, wet stone and subtle spice. The palate is linear and defined, showcasing structural tension and fine, persistent tannins.

Dark, bright red. Subtly complex scents of black cherry, menthol, toast, mocha and soil are complicated by hints of leather and herbs. Quite dark and powerful on the palate and impressively creamy, thick and sweet. But today this wine is medicinal and bound-up and not yet showing its inherent sweetness as its huge tannins arrive early and cut off the fruit. Happily, there's no bitterness from the hail but this wine is in an awkward stage today, with its tannins dominating. I should note that d'Angerville and régisseur François Duvivier are very high on this wine, but at the moment I see its solidity more than the mineral lift it showed shortly after being bottled. Incidentally, Angerville noted that during the vinifications in 2013 and 2014, he pumped out the juice, cleaned it overnight, then put it back onto the berries, which he said eliminated all the mud created by the hail. He added: I wish we had done this in 2012. (13.5% alcohol; September 22 harvest; 3.68 pH; barely ten hectoliters per hectare were produced due to three hail events in Volnay: two at the end of June within 24 hours, then again in early August; the Clos des Ducs was released entirely in magnums but d'Angerville pulled a 750-ml. bottle from his library)Stephen Tanzer1st October 2019

The 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs offers possibly the most intriguing bouquet this year. It certainly has the most complexity with nuanced dark cherry, cranberry leaf, raspberry and cold stone scents that initially seem a little austere but open nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. The oak is a little more conspicuous at this moment, although that will be subsumed with time. The finish is composed and contains an attractive white pepper, almost white fennel-like note that is sustained throughout the aftertaste. Very fine. Drink 2016-2030. - Neal Martin
