Aligoté from one of the oldest and most highly respected domaines in the Côte d’Or.

Known for impeccable growing sites, old clones, and a minimalist winemaking mentality, Marquis d’Angerville is regarded as one of the greatest producers in all of Volnay. The Domaine Marquis D'Angerville began in the 19th century but in 1804, Baron du Mesnil, the sub-prefect of Autun in Burgundy commune acquired the property Clos des Ducs in Volnay - the heart of the appellation Côte de Beaune. The surrounding areas were formerly part of the famous vineyards of Burgundy Dukes Taillepieds, Caillerets and Champans. After the phylloxera epidemic, devastating vineyards in the late 19th century, the nephew and godson Baron du Mesnil, Marquis Sam d'Arzhenvy begins restoration of historic vineyards, re-planting of Pinot Noir grapes. A staunch supporter of "authentic wines" d'Arzhenvy opposes corrupt wine merchants, whose reputation is not always perfect. He becomes the first manufacturer in the region of bottled wines, independently engaged and their subsequent implementation. 

Guillaume d’Angerville’s bottles are known for their perfumed aromatics, complexity, and solid structure.

 Tasting Note: (From the producer)
“Our Bourgogne Aligoté is typical of the appellation. Aligoté is a typically Burgundian grape variety, relatively rare now, but which is in the original Kir recipe, developed by the canon of the same name: one third of crème de cassis and two thirds of Aligoté. It is a wine tense by its acidity which gives it its spine, and beautiful aromas that awaken our taste buds.”
