2022 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Volnay 1er Cru “Champans”, Burgundy, France - 1.5L MAG

ABOUT THE WINE

Champans lies on the southeast-facing slope in the heart of Volnay’s premier cru vineyards. The domaine’s holding extends through the climat, combining rocky limestone ground higher on the slope with deeper, redder soils below. Pinot Noir from these contrasting parcels gives Champans its characteristic breadth and sustained finish, with the finesse associated with Volnay. The estate farms biodynamically and handles each parcel separately to retain its identity. This is the 1.5-liter magnum bottling of the 2022 vintage. For a meal, consider roast duck, mushroom dishes or poultry with a savory jus.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Guillaume d’Angerville has led this family domaine since 2003, following his father Jacques. Its vineyards are concentrated around Volnay, and the estate’s own team manages both vines and cellar. Conversion to biodynamic farming began in 2006; natural preparations and close attention to soil life underpin a philosophy of expressing each site rather than imposing a uniform style.
