Tasting notes
Deep, bright red. Slightly high-toned aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and mocha. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, with a liqueur-like ripeness to the flavors of red and darker fruits, tobacco and chocolate. Finishes with solid tannins and good concentration.

The 2012 Volnay is the first clue the 2012 vintage is special at d'Angerville. A wine that impresses for the extraordinary purity of its fruit, the 2012 graces the palate with sweet red cherries, anise and spices, but it is the wine's textural polish and insistent energy that stand out most. The Volnay is a real stunner. Readers who want to get a sense of what the 2012 vintage holds at d'Angerville should check out the 1er Cru.
