Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, Meursault-Santenots Premier Cru, Burgundy, France, 2022

Overview of the Wine
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is one of Burgundy's most sought after estates, and perfectly exemplifies the identity of Volnay. D'Angerville's list of holdings touches all of the village’s great terroirs, including one of the most picturesque vineyards in Volnay, the monopole of the estate, Clos des Ducs. The domaine started bottling its own production in the 1920s after the current Marquis’ grandfather, Sem d’Angerville, challenged the blending methods of the negociants’ and then began bottling his own wines instead of selling them his grapes. D'Angerville was one of the first Burgundy domains to do this, making history and encouraging the future of the region at the same time. Today the estate is led by Guillaume d’Angerville, farmed immaculately, and is producing some of the best wines in the entire Cote d’Or.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
D'Angerville Meursault Santenots expresses above all the minerality of this exceptional terroir. The estate's method of breeding, without excessive batonnage, gives it extra energy and tension. This white wine is dry, very fruity, with a persistent bouquet reminiscent of hazelnut. Its fat is not expressed in attack, but on the length. It can be tasted young or kept for several years.

94 Points - Tim Atkin
Guillaume's grandfather replanted these vines after phylloxera, planting Chardonnay because he felt there was too much Pinot Noir in Volnay. This begins with a lovely struck flint note followed by yellow plums and straw. There is chipper acidity, lovely vinosity and a very serious finish. The perfume stays in the glass long after the wine is gone. The balance and complexity are exquisite.\

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots reveals a gently reductive bouquet of pear, white flowers, toasted nuts, and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's impressively bright and mineral for such a sunny terroir in so warm a vintage.
