2021 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Volnay Premier Cru Champans is a benchmark Pinot Noir from Volnay in Burgundy. Produced by the legendary Domaine Marquis d’Angerville, this cuvée comes from one of the most respected Premier Cru vineyards in Volnay, known for combining elegance with depth and ageing potential.
The 2021 vintage shows lifted aromas of raspberry, red cherry and orange zest, layered with floral notes such as peony and rose, alongside hints of spice and crushed stone minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky and beautifully structured, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The wine has impressive purity and precision, finishing long, perfumed and mineral-driven.
The Champans vineyard sits on clay-limestone soils with varied depth along the slope, giving the wine both generosity of fruit and structural backbone. This terroir is known for producing some of the most complete and age-worthy wines in Volnay.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, d’Angerville is one of the producers we trust most for pure, terroir-driven Burgundy. Champans is often a sweet spot - more powerful and structured than many Volnay wines, yet still retaining elegance.
The 2021 is a serious Burgundy: refined, layered and built to age. If you enjoy wines like Volnay, Chambolle-Musigny or even elegant Pommard, this is a fantastic addition to your cellar.
