1996 | Domaine Marquis d'Angerville | Clos des Ducs

The purity of the sleek and superbly well-focused middle weight flavors is really sensational as there is an intensely tactile impression of stones on the lingering finish.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: The purity of the sleek and superbly well-focused middle weight flavors is really sensational as there is an intensely tactile impression of stones on the lingering finish.

• John Gilman: The youthful nose is pure and promising, wafting from the glass in a mix of red plums, woodsmoke, a hint of dried eucalyptus, a complex base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a bit of roasted venison in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, tangy and rock solid at the core, with lovely focus and grip, moderate tannins and outstanding length and grip on the still quite primary, but very promising finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville is a Burgundy producer focusing on Pinot Noir from highly regarded vineyards in the Côte du Beaune. The domaine gained fame in the 1920s when it began to make and bottle its own wine, at a time when the common practice was for élevage and bottling to take place in the hands of négociants. Marquis d'Angerville circumvented the négociants entirely by commercializing its own wine, becoming one of the leading producers to do so. The domaine has eight premier cru vineyards in Volnay, as well as one each in Meursault and Pommard. All of its top sites are planted to Pinot Noir, with the exception of the premier cru Meursault Santenots vineyard, which is planted to Chardonnay. This vineyard is unique in that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are both permitted to be planted, but the Pinot Noir carries a Volnay Santenots designation, while the Meursault is reserved for white wine. The Marquis d'Angerville holdings here come from the Plures section of the vineyard. Domaine Marquis d'Angerville's vineyard holdings total less than 15 hectares (37 acres), which includes the prized monopole Clos Des Ducs. The domaine rounds out its premier cru and village wines with a Bourgogne Blanc, Rouge and Aligoté. In 2012 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville expanded into Jura with the purchase of vineyards and the establishment of Domaine du Pélican. The Angerville family is leasing the majority of the vineyards of famed vin jaune producer Jacques Puffeney. The estate also boasts a particular, small-berried clone of Pinot Noir, known as Pinot d'Angerville, that has been propagated by the regional wine trade body, the BIVB.
