Expressive, Seductive, and Poised with Pure Fruit

A spectacular, class-defining triumph from a challenging growing season, the 2021 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Premier Cru "Champans" showcases the absolute pinnacle of right-slope precision. While Champans is historically celebrated for its muscular structure, the cooler, classic conditions of the 2021 vintage introduce a disarmingly energetic and ethereal dimension to its depth. It belts out of the glass with a juicy, highly expressive bouquet of fresh red berries, dark cherries, and crushed stone minerals, wonderfully accented by a faint touch of blood orange and rose petals. Medium-bodied and perfectly poised, it delivers a harmonious, melt-in-the-mouth texture balanced beautifully by fine, sandy tannins and a persistent, seductive finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Jasper Morris [90-93] pts
  • 90-93 Points ★★★☆☆ - Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy: "Champans and Clos des Ducs were a little less affected by the frost, with 15 barrels of each made. Just a touch paler in colour but easily the same density of red fruit on the nose as Taillepieds. A little bit on the raw side, and more oak showing, good length but less in place at this stage. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2022."
  • The Majestic Slopes of Champans: Located in the heart of Volnay, the 11-hectare *Champans* Premier Cru is split into upper and lower sections. Domaine Marquis d'Angerville owns a sprawling, almost 4-hectare block running down the full gradient of the hill. The upper slopes feature thin, stony limestone, while the bottom transitions to deeper, iron-rich Bathonian clay, a geographical blueprint that naturally yields wines of exceptional density and complete structural balance.
  • The d'Angerville Ethos: Under the brilliant stewardship of Guillaume d'Angerville, the domain continues its commitment to meticulous biodynamic farming. To master the exceptionally variable 2021 season, Guillaume prioritized elegance and precision, keeping extraction gentle and limiting new wood maturation to roughly 20%. This ensures that the natural depth of the site is perfectly highlighted without losing the vintage's bright, crystalline clarity.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the domain's extensive biodynamic holdings in the famous Champans Premier Cru.
  • A beautifully classic, cool-toned release that brilliantly channels pure fruit character and high-toned limestone energy.
  • Crafted under low-intervention Burgundian methods to highlight site transparency and superb aging potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red core with clear crimson highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Intensely fragrant, engaging, and full of joy. It erupts with an expressive bouquet of fresh red cherries, juicy raspberry, and wild strawberries, accented by subtle nuances of blood orange, rose petals, and a crisp background of crushed stones.
  • Palate: Bone-dry, medium-bodied, and remarkably harmonious. The entry treats the palate to a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth core of red fruits, seamlessly structured by fine, lightly sandy tannins. A bright, crunchy line of acidity keeps the mid-palate fresh and focused, driving into a clean, mineral-led, and seductively long finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at cellar temperature (15–16°C). Maintaining a cool serving profile ensures the delicate floral perfumes and vibrant red fruits remain precisely in focus.
  • Decanting: A brief 30-to-45 minute decant is recommended if opening soon to let the tight-knit mineral frame unwind. This vintage is built with superb, balanced bones designed to cellar elegantly through 2041+.
  • Western Pairing: Pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, cedar-plank roasted salmon, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or wild mushroom risotto.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking Duck (北京烤鴨), Cantonese crispy-skin roasted pork (燒肉), or delicate soy-braised chicken.
