1993 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Clos des Ducs Volnay 1er Cru 1.5L

1993 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Clos des Ducs: Legendary Volnay Monopole in Magnum

The 1993 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Clos des Ducs Volnay 1er Cru 1.5L Magnum stands as an immortal benchmark of classical Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir. In particular, this steep, walled 2.15-hectare monopole vineyard perches on white Jurassic limestone, producing Volnay of profound mineral tension and longevity. In addition, the structured, cool 1993 vintage yielded wines of firm architectural spine and multi-decade cellaring power.

Tasting Notes for 1993 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Clos des Ducs

The wine opens with an evocative bouquet of dried red cherry, wild cranberry, sous-bois, and crushed rose petal. Furthermore, complex secondary accents of leather, black tea, iron ore, and smoked cedar emerge with patience in the glass. On the palate, a laser-focused, medium-bodied attack reveals chiseled red-fruit depth framed by mature, fine-grained tannins and vibrant limestone acidity. Consequently, the finish lingers with savory purity, flinty persistence, and aristocratic Volnay grace.
