Domaine Marquis d'Angerville stands as a beacon of traditional Burgundian winemaking, a biodynamic estate whose commitment to expressing the purest essence of Volnay's terroir is legendary. The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets exemplifies this philosophy, hailing from one of the appellation's most esteemed Premier Cru climats.
The Caillerets vineyard, distinguished by its shallow, stony limestone soils, imparts a profound minerality and exquisite finesse to the Pinot Noir. This terroir, combined with Marquis d'Angerville's meticulous viticulture, yields wines of remarkable elegance and aromatic complexity, characteristic of Volnay's more delicate, perfumed style compared to its robust neighbour, Pommard. The 2017 vintage, celebrated for its freshness and purity, offers an approachable yet age-worthy expression, showcasing vibrant fruit and a refined structure.
