- WINEMAKER: Guillaume d'Angerville
- FARMING: Certified Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
- TERROIR: Clos des Ducs, Volnay 1er Cru, Burgundy; The vineyard is located on a south-facing slope with limestone-rich soils, ideal for Pinot Noir. The proximity to the Montagne de Corton brings a cool climate, which helps preserve the freshness and finesse of the wine.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested, with fermentation taking place in open wooden vats. Native yeasts are used for fermentation, and the wine undergoes gentle extraction to maintain elegance.
- AGING: Aged 18 months in French oak barrels (30% new) to enhance the wine's complexity while maintaining its purity.
- TASTING NOTES: A stunning expression of Volnay, with aromas of ripe red berries, rose petals, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is elegant, with refined tannins and a silky texture. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice evolve with time, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Excellent with roasted duck, wild mushrooms, or a charcuterie platter.
- SCORES: 94 points – Vinous
