Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet 2023

Volnay is a village that lives or dies on finesse, and d'Angerville's 1.57-hectare plot sits just below the Clos des Ducs and Les Pitures, where erosion has left barely 30 centimeters of soil over decomposing marly rock. That clay-and-limestone mix is the whole argument: it gives the wine its delicacy without thinning it out, and you can taste the shallowness of the site in the wine's lift. If you want to know what Volnay actually means, this is the address people point to.
