Chiseled, Stony, and Balanced with Warm-Vintage Poise

Produced by Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, "Les Taillepieds" is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir shaped by high-elevation slopes and thin, gravelly limestone soils. This terroir naturally yields a leaner, more vertical, and mineral-driven wine compared to the softer, fleshier styles found in lower Volnay plots. The warm, dry 2022 vintage adds a pleasant layer of ripe red fruits and a bit more mid-palate substance, while the vineyard's altitude keeps the acidity fresh and clean. It is a medium-bodied red wine with firm, fine-grained tannins and a steady, dry finish that shows classic regional focus.

Vineyard & Estate Background

  • 93-95 Points Don't miss! Outstanding - Allen Meadows' Burghound.com "Ripe yet attractively fresh aromas of wet stone, plum and a range of floral elements gives way to the super-sleek, intense and delicious flavors that possess a lovely texture on the youthfully austere, hugely long and linear finale that is pungently mineral in character. This is also very classy though note well that like all classic examples of Taillepieds, it's compact, backward and is a wine that absolutely needs time."
  • 91-93 Points Star Rating ★★★★☆ – Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy "A fuller deeper purple. The nose seems almost rugged after the absolute grace of Caillerets, but there is a vast underlying density. The intense fresh raspberry fruit fills the mouth, and though this is perhaps less subtle than some, the Taillepieds possesses great potential for the medium to long term. Drink from 2030-2029. Tasted Oct 2023."
  • Biodynamic Stewardship: Domaine Marquis d'Angerville farms their vineyards entirely under certified biodynamic practices. Their approach prioritizes vineyard balance and clean fruit definition, utilizing traditional, low-intervention techniques in the cellar to let the site character show plainly.
  • The Les Taillepieds Site: Situated on a steep upper section of the Volnay slope, "Les Taillepieds" features thin, light topsoil heavily mixed with small, broken limestone pebbles. This specific geology typically produces a leaner, high-tension, and mineral-focused wine rather than a soft or highly fleshed-out style.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir hand-harvested from estate parcels inside the Volnay 1er Cru "Les Taillepieds" vineyard.
  • Farmed under certified biodynamic practices to maintain natural vine health and soil clarity.
  • Aged traditionally for 15–18 months in fine French oak barrels, keeping new wood to a low percentage to preserve the raw site profile.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Clear, medium ruby red with clean garnet fringes.
  • Nose: Fresh and clearly defined, showing straightforward fruit aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, and dark plum skin, balanced by light notes of violet petals, turned earth, and a soft touch of wood spice.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and centered. A clean entry of ripe red fruits moves into a steady mid-palate that displays solid structural weight from the 2022 harvest. Present, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity support the framework, finishing dry with a standard earthy and mineral element.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 15–16°C. Keeping it cellar-cool focuses the red fruits and prevents the firm tannic structure from feeling disjointed.
  • Decanting: A 1-to-2 hour decant is recommended to help the youthful 2022 tannins unwind. This wine has a steady layout built to soften and integrate further over the next 8–12 years in a cellar.
  • Western Pairing: Roasted duck breast, pan-seared pork chops, mushroom risottos, or simple herb-roasted chicken.
  • Asian Pairing: Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油雞), Cantonese Roast Duck (明炉燒鴨), or stir-fried beef slices with ginger and scallions.
