light red color as is often the case with a young Volnay, on the nose ponderous raspberry with an array of tight dark spice notes, violets, on the palate more expressive with a dazzling midpalate of crushed berries and other fruits tending to the red side of the spectrum, intensely floral, punchy topnote, quite powerful yet also very linear at this point leading into a long mineral-infused finish with great tension and a lingering aftertaste of punchy fruit and floral notes, a great Volnay rarely shows its cards in youth but even so this is a relatively restrained showing for a young Angerville Champans, pristinely structured but even now the joy of the ripe fruit is evident and most appealing, a first rate Champans and one that will take quite a bit of time to come around.

An eclectic night (Trapet, Duroché, Yquem,...) (Tøyen, Oslo): This needed every bit of 4 hours in the glass to reveal an explosion of raspberry, red currant, blackberry, stems, spices and damp soil.
At the end of dinner, this was just stupendously nice, what an epic wine!

From a half bottle. Incredibly good. This is a top over-performer for the money among red Burgundy, IMO.

Felt touch rustic to me, but no excessive heat.

Marquis d'Angerville Tasting and Lunch (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL): Very charming and stylish, warm vintage but lovely freshness of fruit, aromatic, flowers, ripe strawberries and raspberries, tight and energetic, steely acidity, very long finish. Top vintage.
