2022 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Volnay 1er Cru “Frémiet”, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THE WINE

Frémiet sits at the northern end of Volnay, close to Pommard and below Clos des Ducs and Pitures. The domaine farms 1.57 hectares on a steep slope with thin upper soils over decomposing marl, clay and limestone. This Pinot Noir combines the climat’s fruit-driven elegance with a firm underlying structure, giving it both immediate aromatic appeal and substance. Biodynamic vineyard work supports the estate’s focus on the particular character of each parcel. Suggested pairings include roast chicken with mushrooms, duck breast or lentils with earthy vegetables.

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.
