2022 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville, Volnay Premier Cru, Champans 1x750ml

Vinous 93-95

The 2022 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru is finely tuned on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone, damp moss/undergrowth and potpourri. This blossoms in the glass, but, in keeping with d’Angerville’s other cuvées, it doesn’t press hard on the accelerator. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lending this a satin-like texture. Not immensely deep, this expressive Les Champans is lightly spiced with a slightly more tertiary finish than its peers. The depth here is cunningly disguised and will only emerge once given adequate bottle maturity. [Neal Martin, 01/11/2024]
