The score for2018 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Premier Cru is 91-93 from Robert Parker and this is the tasting note -As usual, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru is blend of Les Pitures and Mitans. More reserved than the Pommard that preceded it, the wine unwinds slowly in the glass, revealing enticing aromas of rose petals, red berries, blood orange, raw cocoa and deep soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, charming and elegant, with lively acids and fine, chalky tannins. After d'Angerville's immensely charming 2017 portfolio—which I'll be revisiting in the spring, as well as going into a bit more depth about the domaine's history and holdings—the 2018 vintage at this Volnay reference point is more muscular and structured, wines that will both need and reward élevage and bottle age. Stylistically, comparisons with the 2005 vintage wouldn't be out of place, though I think these 2018s won't be quite as youthfully unyielding as that year. As ever, the domaine has produced exemplary wines, and I warmly recommend them.
