Why it matters
The producer
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is a Burgundy domaine centered on Volnay Premier Cru vineyards. Its wines are bottled normally without fining or filtration, following an ancestral Burgundy practice. The range is organized around named vineyards, with Clos des Ducs held as a monopole.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Volnay supplies the appellation name across the range. Premier Cru identifies a named vineyard ranking within the village appellation, so each bottle carries both the Volnay name and a more specific vineyard address. Clos des Ducs adds monopole status, a term used when one domaine controls a named vineyard.
The labels therefore pair one village appellation with different Premier Cru vineyards. Clos des Ducs 2021 is the vintage-specific example in the range.
