Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds, 2018
The most structured Volnay in the d'Angerville lineup, from a warm and generous vintage. Taillepieds takes its name from the sharp-edged pebbles that wore out vineyard workers' shoes — a steep, stony, thin-soiled site on the upper slope of Volnay that produces wines of unusual seriousness and reserve for the commune. The relatively high altitude gives it a more savory, structured character than nearby Caillerets, and Guillaume d'Angerville (biodynamic since 2006, at the helm since his father Jacques passed in 2003) draws out that intensity with the domaine's signature restrained hand. 2018 was warm and generous; the result is a Volnay with the texture and lift the appellation is famous for, but with extra spine and concentration — drinking well now with the architecture to evolve over the next decade and beyond.
