The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge from Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is a vibrant and finely detailed Pinot Noir that reflects the estate’s hallmark elegance and precision. Sourced primarily from vineyards around Volnay and farmed biodynamically, it offers a remarkably authentic expression of the Côte de Beaune despite its regional appellation status.
The nose is immediately inviting, revealing aromas of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries and raspberries, complemented by delicate floral notes of rose petal and violet. Subtle hints of spice, forest floor and crushed stone add complexity, while the purity of fruit remains at the forefront.
On the palate, the wine is supple and energetic, with bright red berry flavours framed by silky tannins and refreshing acidity. The warm and generous 2023 vintage provides attractive fruit concentration and texture, yet the wine retains excellent balance and finesse. Layers of cherry, cranberry and red currant unfold across the palate, supported by a subtle earthy undertone and a fine mineral thread.
The finish is clean, persistent and elegant, lingering on notes of fresh red fruits, gentle spice and savoury minerality. While approachable in its youth, the wine possesses enough structure and complexity to develop positively over the next three to five years.
Overall, the 2023 Bourgogne Rouge is an outstanding example of how a great domaine can elevate a regional Burgundy. It combines the charm and accessibility expected of Bourgogne Rouge with the refinement, transparency and sense of place that have made Domaine Marquis d’Angerville one of Volnay’s most respected producers.
