Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 6, 2022 - What a delightful Volnay! The flavour profile leans toward the high toned, red fruited, but doesn't lack depth and there's a real intensity & good length to the beautifully taught & impeccably balanced medium bodied palate. Immediately enjoyable on opening, but notably improved over 3 or 4 hours drinking time (not decanted). I think I pick up something of a 2011 vintage character; but it's handled very well. The pronounced acidity makes it a food wine for me, but it's so elegant and charming that I'd happily drink it by itself. I don't understand the 'rich & fat' descriptor used in a review below - a few point in that direction, but this wasn't what I was getting from the wine. (My first D'Angerville, a part from the Domaine du Pellican Jura's which, FWIW, I adore - & think I can pick up a 'house style' - must try more of their Burgundies & then will know if this is nonsense or not ;) 2026 end to the drinking window seems conservative
