Tasting notes
Bright garnet. Meat-and-two-veg on the nose. Very firm and demanding. Masses of tannin and positively surly fruit. Leave this for an age! d’Angerville structure without Volnay charm. Pretty drying on the end. (JR)

One of Marquis d'Angerville's less well-known bottlings, the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Combes Dessus exhibits lovely aromas of sweet cherries, spices, dried flowers and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, juicy and layered, with good concentration, a comparatively open-knit core and a long finish.
About the producer
Marquis d'Angerville is synonymous with the village of Volnay, having long made some of the village’s finest wines. Best known for its Premier Cru monopole vineyard, Clos des Ducs, this estate crafts fine-boned, elegant styles of Pinot Noir – wines that act as standard-bearers for the appellation.
