Marquis d’Angerville – Volnay – 2009



Pale and delicate, cherried, smooth tannins, just a touch of leaf and a little pepper coming through on the finish. I think strawberries, N1 says raspberries, but neither descriptor is so sharply marked as to be unmistakeable in the way that they can be in more mature Burgundy.  

Seems like a classic sort of Volnay, fine, but definitely well short of full aromatic development. While one never quite knows when best to drink a good Burgundy, the answer here is clearly: not yet.  

90/100
