The most structured Volnay in the d'Angerville lineup, from a warm and generous vintage. Taillepieds takes its name from the sharp-edged pebbles that wore out vineyard workers' shoes — a steep, stony, thin-soiled site on the upper slope of Volnay that produces wines of unusual seriousness and reserve for the commune. The relatively high altitude gives it a more savory, structured character than nearby Caillerets, and Guillaume d'Angerville (biodynamic since 2006, at the helm since his father Jacques passed in 2003) draws out that intensity with the domaine's signature restrained hand. 2018 was warm and generous; the result is a Volnay with the texture and lift the appellation is famous for, but with extra spine and concentration — drinking well now with the architecture to evolve over the next decade and beyond.

"Perfumed, airy and more high-toned aromas derive more from the red side of the fruit spectrum while displaying pretty touch of spice and exotic tea. The cool and gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors also brim with minerality on the focused, powerful and particularly firm finale that goes on and on. This is wonderful and I very much like the style and sheer class of this built-to-age Taillepieds." —Allen Meadows

"The 2018 Volnay Taillepieds 1er Cru comes from vines located high up on the hill at the same altitude as Clos des Ducs in a windy location. This has the most precocious bouquet among d’Angerville’s Volnays, with blueberry, cassis and iodine aromas billowing from the glass. The palate is built around a sweet core of slightly confit fruit. An unusually outgoing and approachable Les Taillepieds that is full of joie-de-vivre. Whether it has the intellectual element of, say, the Clos des Ducs or the Champans is another matter. It comes across as a Volnay more intent on sensory enjoyment." —Neal Martin

"More muscular than the more ethereal Caillerets that preceded it, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds reveals a deep-pitched bouquet of cherries, wild blueberries, dark chocolate and orange rind, with only subtle hints of the savory nuances to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and introverted, with powdery tannins, tangy acids and a tight-knit, reserved profile despite its evident sucrosity of fruit." —William Kelley

More about Domaine Marquis d'Angerville

Volnay's archetypal name-producer for over a century, Marquis d'Angerville remains one of Burgundy's most consistent voices. These Pinot Noirs sit in the sweet spot between aromatic seduction and structural power—wines that open gracefully and age beautifully. The domaine's vineyard holdings represent some of Volnay's finest sites. Classic stuff, made the traditional way by people who know the terroir intimately—and it still works.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Substantial Burgundian fare. Rack of lamb with herbs of Provence, venison loin, roast duck with cherry reduction, squab with morels, beef tenderloin with truffle, or a wedge of aged Comté and Époisses to close.

Tasting Profile

Medium- to full-bodied and racy. Black cherry, raspberry, crushed stone, dried rose, sweet spice, and a savory mineral undertow. Firm fine-grained tannins, vivid acidity, long resonant finish. Built for the cellar.
