Why We Stock It

Marquis d'Angerville is one of Volnay's longest-established growers, and this 1er Cru from their own vineyard shows why the appellation matters: the wine has the elegance and mineral backbone that separate Volnay from its neighbors. The 2022 vintage is drinking well now but will develop for another decade or more, making it a sound bottle to hold or open with patience.

Tasting Profile

This wine opens with the delicate floral notes and bright acidity that Volnay is known for.

• Aroma: Red cherry, violet, earthy undertones
• Palate: Red berries, mushroom, mineral, silky and refined
• Structure & Finish: Fine-grained tannins, persistent and floral, lingering finish

Winemaking

Volnay reds are typically fermented using a proportion of whole clusters and aged in burgundian oak for 12 to 18 months. The specifics of aging in this vintage are not reliably known, but the wine's silky structure and mineral clarity suggest moderate new-oak use aligned with Volnay tradition.

Serving & Pairing

Serve at 62 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The wine does not need decanting at this age but will benefit from an hour in a carafe if opened young. Pair it with coq au vin or mushroom risotto, where the wine's earthy notes and acidity anchor rich, umami-forward dishes. It also suits roasted chicken and herb-dressed salmon, where its bright cherry and floral character does not overpower the protein.

The Estate

Marquis d'Angerville is a family-owned grower estate in Volnay with deep roots in the appellation. They farm their own vineyards and produce wines that reflect the precision and restraint the site demands, without artifice.

Terroir

Volnay sits on the mid-slope of the Côte de Beaune, where Pinot Noir achieves an unusual balance of structure and perfume. The soils are limestone-rich clay with good drainage. The site's east-facing aspect and elevation give the wine its characteristic brightness and floral lift, while the mineral content shows through cleanly in the glass.
