Domaine Marquis d’Angerville, a benchmark estate in Volnay, has long been synonymous with purity, precision, and the faithful expression of terroir. Now under the stewardship of Guillaume d’Angerville, the domaine continues to thrive through biodynamic farming and traditional low-intervention winemaking, crafting wines of remarkable transparency and elegance. The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Champans is a standout from this historic property, showcasing the estate’s signature finesse with added depth and structure from this warm, generous vintage. Aromatically complex, the wine opens with lifted floral notes—violet and rose petal—layered over dark cherry, plum, crushed stone, and subtle forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, offering a satin-like texture supported by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant core of acidity. Flavors of blackberry, red currant, and earthy spice unfold gracefully, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. While accessible in its youth, this wine’s balance and tension suggest a long aging trajectory, with optimal drinking beginning around 2027 and continuing well into the 2040s. For high-end clients and collectors, the 2022 Champans represents the essence of Volnay: structured yet delicate, intellectually engaging yet effortlessly drinkable—a truly timeless Burgundy.
