Volnay Clos des Ducs, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville 2009

Tasting Notes

A fresh, perfumed and relatively high-toned nose of elegant and ultra-pure red pinot fruit that is liberally laced with stone and soil nuances merges seamlessly into rich, detailed and precise flavors that ooze a wet stone character on the energetic, hugely complex and explosively long finish. This is almost always a classy effort but in 2009 it is also beautifully stylish despite the tannins being notably firm. This has the concentration and balance to age for several decades and while it's probably not going to outlive the '05, it's an unusually structured 2009. If you can find this stunning effort, buy it.

This is almost always a classy effort but in 2009 it is also beautifully stylish despite the tannins being by far and away the firmest in the range.
