{"product_id":"marquis-dangerville-volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-ducs-2002","title":"Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs, 2002","description":"This is the last Clos des Ducs Jacques d'Angerville made. He died in July 2003 after 52 harvests, so 2002 was his final vintage of the wine his family calls its \"grand vin.\" Clos des Ducs is an enclosed Volnay 1er Cru monopole that an early 16th-century act already lists as part of the former domain of the Dukes of Burgundy, and it is still exactly the 52 ouvrées (2.15 hectares) measured back then. An ouvrée was the patch one vigneron could work alone in a day, so this is a vineyard measured in human labour. The vines grow on a steep, well-drained slope facing south-east, in poor, stony, strongly calcareous white marl. Jacques and Sem spent years selecting vines, and in the early 1950s their work was recognised as a fine, low-yielding strain called \"Pinot d'Angerville.\" When Guillaume took over from his father, his first instinct was to change nothing and keep making the wines in Jacques's spirit. The family says Clos des Ducs is a slow-moving wine for the cellar that only reaches its fullness at about ten years, and great vintages need longer. A 2002 is now more than twice that age, which makes it a rare chance to taste what this wine was built for.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51021215268921,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-SRSN10261026-103026-31-5","price":519.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Marquis-dAngerville-Volnay-1er-Cru-Clos-des-Ducs-2002-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793437433","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/marquis-dangerville-volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-ducs-2002","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
