Note di degustazione
Tasted not long before bottling. Pale rim and mid crimson. Very lightly herbal nose. Sweet start and more open than some. Masses of charming sweetness with a little red-cherry aspect. Super-open with a hint of slightly drying oak on the finish that Guillaume d’Angerville assures us is ‘not typical’. Easy and approachable for an Angerville wine. (JR)

(from very old vines: one parcel was planted in the 1950s and the estate purchased another 0.5 hectare of similar age in 2007): Medium ruby. Inviting violet lift to the aromas of blackberry, cassis and bitter chocolate. Wonderfully dense and sweet, conveying superb inner-mouth lift to its flavors of dark berries and bitter chocolate. Finishes with substantial late-arriving tannins and lovely lingering sweetness of fruit. Nothing hard about this beauty.
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles, from the lieu-dit situated at the bottom of the incline, was showing a little reduction on the nose when I tasted it from barrel. The palate is well balanced with thickset tannin lending weight and backbone to this Volnay, although it feels tightly-coiled and showed a little heaviness on the finish. I suspect this might be surpassed by the domaine's other premier crus this vintage.
