2021, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, VOLNAY, 1er Cru, 'Taillepieds'

D'Angerville's parcel of Taillepieds is a generous hectare located at the top of the slope at the same level as the Clos des Ducs. The expressive wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit aromas here are perfumed and aromatic rather than powerful (as the Taillepieds often is). The body is relatively light, and there is a dynamic balance between fresh acidity and the ripeness that is readily apparent here. He ferments on native yeasts in open-top wood fermenters before ageing in mostly used casks. 91 Charles Curtis MW, Decanter.
