Volnay, Clos des Ducs, 1er Cru, Angerville

Note:

The domaine’s flagship, a position justified in 2016. Bright mid purple in colour, while the nose is dense but initially dour, before some blueberry fruit emerges. In the mouth, this starts discreetly then builds beautifully, a very dense thread of fruit with good tannins and just a touch of acidity. Excellent oak integration. All the building blocks are there and this should grow into a harmonious whole Tasted Oct 2017.
