2023 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Clos des Ducs Volnay Premier Cru, France 1.5L Magnum Leon & Son Note the singular “Vaillon” insteadMonopole of Marquis dAngerville. A true clos, enclosed by stone walls on each side, it covers an area of 2. 15 hectares, identical to the 52 openings measured in the 16th century. The soil is strongly calcareous, stony, poor, rather deep and clayey (white marl). The perfect south eastern exposure guarantees ideal sunshine. The very steep slope of the vineyard allows very good drainage.
