Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets

2025-04 KoB #221 St Aubin and Volnay at Estelle (Estelle in Northcote) : Tasted blind. Prominent oak. Richer and dark cherry, cola and plums. Very perfumed. Turns a little more red fruited over time. 93.

2018 vintage

Lovely fresh elegant burgundy, great balance and a super smooth mouthfeel

2018 vintage

No notes. Before Larry David. Had side by side with the 2014 Tour Vougeut and these were polar opposites but both fun in their own right. More voluptuous, bigger body, deep and concentrated. Needs more time but well made not too hot 2018.

2018 vintage

(Blind tasting) Full and deep nose. Very dense. Raspberry and hints of black fruit. Petit-fruits-rouges. Spice and flowers. But also elegant. Still youthful. Medium-fullish, dense, concentrated palate. Red and black fruit and spicy liquorice. Structure and softness. Freshness. Lovely, lovely silky tannins. Very long. A splendid example of polished winemaking! And able to keep elegance in this hot vintage. Lovely now, even more lovely in 3-5 years.

2018 vintage

Frisch, fruchtig. Gut balancierte Säure. Könnte vielleicht etwas opulenter sein.

2018 vintage

Voluptuous, rich, round, elegant and pretty, with bright acidity. Showing great right now, really expressive and tasty at the moment.

2018 vintage

Light body - lighter than the other D’Angerville 1ers for sure, including the non-climat specific 1er. But very nice fruit, balance and complexity. Only knock is could use more depth. Dark spicey fruit, raspberry and currant with a hint of blueberry. Nice finish.

2019 vintage

Not my thing…

2019 vintage

Trinity Fine Wines Tasting (Aleria restaurant) : Fragrant, floral notes, chery, berries, cinnamon candy, balanced, palate with juicy tannins, smooth, a touch nutty, raspeberry

2018 vintage

Corney & Barrow - Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Dinner (Clos Pasoh) : Medium ruby. Expressive nose of ripe redcurrant and violets, and dill, thyme, basil, and a hint of nutmeg. Bright acids, and big floral flavours as well as savoury herbs and spices. Fairly lengthy. Nice!

2018 vintage

Pronounced nose intensity with notes of violet, spices, red fruits. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin.

2018 vintage

Marquis d'Angerville Tasting and Lunch (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL) : Energetic, nerveux, forest floor and nuts, salty finish.

1999 vintage

Amazingly, the 93 d'Angerville Fremiets doesn't really seem ready. A big nose with red and black cherry alongside freshly dug earth. Still a fair amount of grip in the mouth. The Champans is articulate and complex already, but the Fremiets just isn't there yet (not that I expect it to rise to the level of the Champans).

1993 vintage

I don't know what Dville did in 19 but it's magic. Crushes the 18s. Picked up lot more and psyched.

2019 vintage

Earthy, mushrooms, black tea, but hardly any fruit left. Fine acidity freshens it up and low tannins makes is smooth. The wine is technically fine so it is a matter of preference - but my preference is to have a bit of red fruit expression in my burgundy wines.

1999 vintage

In a span of 3 hours this went from angular to full on beast mode. Very expressive and probably the best D'ang Fremiets I've ever had. Delicate but packed in dark fruit and perfume. Extra dimension of flavor. Finish forever. If this is representative of D'ang 19s I will be happy. I put in a decanter and it really needed the air.

2019 vintage

This is a baby, but has good potential; had at a restaurant and it paired pretty well with venison loin; the nose was reticent at first then slowly opened to ripe plum, black cherry, even cassis I think; violet and some damp earthy notes, but mostly just vibrant ripe fruits; the palate was also initially quite coiled, slowly opened to show the fruits richness and despite being definitely ripe in alignment with the vintage there was reasonable freshness to the …

2018 vintage

Just terrific drinking right now. My only regret is I drank these too early, last one best one!

1999 vintage

A fully mature bottle without showing aging. Wonderful floral aroma and the taste of good mature bourgogne. No wonder this domain is the best in Volnay.

1999 vintage

Extremely youthful and primary with bright red cherry fruit, almost candied, with subtle chalkiness and a light clean finish. Will wait 5-10 years before trying again.

1999 vintage

Mostly DRC lazy Sunday lunch (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA) : Youthful expressive nose displaying ripe black and red fruit, blackberry jam, stewed raspberry, grilled meat, rose, dark spices and earth. Excellent concentration, ripe black fruit and earth driven palate impression, medium acidity and mineral and a medium to long dark fruit and earth driven finish. Still needs another five to ten years as sous bois has not emerged and feels a bit tight and coiled.

1999 vintage

Still young, its best days are ahead. Beautifully pure Volnay; raspberry, mineral elegance, nice floral tones. Powdery tannins. Very fine.

1999 vintage

Light garnet. Nose of red fruit with a subtle gamy, earthy, animalic touch to it. Elegant and aromatic palate, light bodied. Good finish. Lighter than the Champans and the Caillerets.

1999 vintage

Wow, this is great. Lovely dark and red fruit palate. The tannins are breaking down. Lovely red fruit. Nice elegance here. I'm not a huge d'Angerville fan (I know, I seem to be in the minority on this), but this was impressive. Milling Room with GdP, David S and Dan T.

1999 vintage

An odd nose that may have needed more time to blow off...reserve rating until I try the other half btl

1999 vintage

Drank in London We looked at our glasses and this wine was very cloudy, oh dear. Then we gave it a smell, WOW, beautiful notes of raspberries, strawberries, flowers and earth. This was a real beauty. Luckily we did not decant as it started to fade after about an hour in the open. Wonderful stuff, don't get put off by the cloudiness.

1999 vintage

Not sure what to make of this. No obvious flaw but this bottle didn't seem right.

1999 vintage

Excellent Volnay showing. Paired with fried Thai lobster and french fries (the kids). Strong mineral notes, mid palate blanketed with cherry liquor flavours. hitting perfect stride now. typical volnay tannins dissipated and complexity becomes apparent.

1999 vintage

had it at my houlse with tasting of other volnay, was not showing well at all, hard, lumpy and blackish fruit

1999 vintage

Crunchy, youthful. Bright strawberry / cranberry fruit and quite dusty and mineral, but seems to be a little light in concentration. More time is needed. A good but not great bottle tonight.

1999 vintage

Opens bright and crunchy and quite austere. With several hours air it really opens to bright, snappy red fruit with great sappy intensity. Floral and dusty stone notes overlay. Exquisitely detailed. Not at the complexity levels of the Ducs or other 1ers but no less enjoyable. Very youthful as well, 10 years or more in the tank easily.

1999 vintage

Cooked

1999 vintage

A light colored, crisp, light, but firm style of pinot which is aromatically restrained, and minerally. More for the Burgundy nerd this wine is near its peak though has the depth of flavor and acidity to age another 5-7 years. Quality wise fantastic balance between ripeness of fruit and firm acids, mild tannins, very good length, good intensity of red fruits, flowers, and minerals, ok to good complexity, fantastic finesse, and perfect expression of place.

1999 vintage

From 20 to 25-year-old vines. Decanted for one hour during which time it put on more substance and weight. Medium ruby colour with a pretty bouquet. Medium-bodied with fresh red fruit, mineral and spice flavours. This is an elegant and finely structured wine, and more in harmony than a bottle I had a couple of years ago. There is good complexity, but a slightly hollow finish. Had alongside a Jean Boillot Fremiets from the same year which was more complete. …

1999 vintage

Fall Fest Wines (Larry's) : This is in a very nice place right now. No hurry though. Lots of sour cherries. Complex. Nice acidity. Interesting wine. A crowd favorite.

1999 vintage

rode kleur, veel klein rood fruit, elegante neus, smaak is mooi gerijpt, zoete impressie, mooi drinkbaar, wijn is nu op zijn top, heel zuiver en met veel karakter

1999 vintage

rode kleur, mooie fruitige neus, klein rood fruit, aardbei, besjes, diepgang, verleidelijk, smaak is aangenaam elegant, mooi ontwikkeld, zachte tannines, frisheid en veel karakter, wijn werd steeds mooier naarmate de fles leger werd.. de wijn kan nog mooier worden met wat rijpijng.

1999 vintage

Very pretty, precise Volnay.

1999 vintage

Very nice. Great acidity, soil. Youthfully fresh.

1999 vintage

Burgundy Night at Martin and Joyce's (The Serenade) : Started a bit slow, but really opened up with time, so that it was a rather nice wine by the time we finished the last of the bottle. I actually thought this was just a better than the 1996 D'Angerville Clos des Ducs on the night. Very tight on the nose - some meaty sausages and ham, along with spice and winter melon, slowly unfolding into cherry notes. Same meaty ham …
