Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans Premier Cru, 2021
Terroir
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville has 3.98 hectares in the Champans appellation, located just north of the Caillerets appellation. Two parallel parcels constitute our part of the appellation (11 hectares in total). They extend from top to bottom of the Champans climate and the hillside, thus taking advantage of all the characteristics of this remarkable terroir facing south-east, located in the center of the Premiers Crus of Volnay. The soil is poorer and rests on a rocky limestone bed at the top of the hill as the slope decreases downwards and it becomes more clayey, stony and deeper.
Wine
Historically classified as Têtes de Cuvée de Volnay, Champans is the archetype of the great Volnay 1er cru: finesse, breadth and length in the mouth with an extra generosity and power that is unique to it. Depending on the vintage, it deserves 5 to 10 years of aging to fully reveal itself, but it is generally more easily approachable young than Taillepieds or Clos des Ducs.
