The 2022 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Passetoutgrains is a refined and traditional Burgundy blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, produced from biodynamically farmed vineyards around Volnay. Unlike many simple Passetoutgrains wines, this cuvée is crafted with the same care and philosophy applied to the domaine’s top wines, resulting in a wine of surprising depth and elegance.
The nose is bright and expressive, showing red cherry, raspberry and cranberry, layered with violet, spice and subtle earthy notes. There is a lifted aromatic freshness, with both Pinot finesse and Gamay vibrancy contributing to the profile.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, juicy texture and fresh acidity. Red berry fruit, spice and mineral nuances are supported by fine tannins, leading to a clean, energetic and highly drinkable finish. The 2022 vintage offers excellent balance, with more ripeness and charm while still retaining freshness and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best examples of "serious Passetoutgrains" - far beyond the simple, rustic style many people expect from the category. Compared to Bourgogne Rouge, it’s lighter, fresher and more playful, while still carrying real Burgundy character. It’s perfect for customers who enjoy elegant, lower-tannin reds or want a food-friendly Pinot-style wine without the weight or price of village Burgundy. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with charcuterie, roast chicken, duck or casual French dining.
