Volnay Les Champans, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville 1985

Tasting Notes

This is still remarkably fresh at 20 years of age with primary dark berry fruit aromas that reveal almost no secondary notes that complement perfectly the concentrated, sweet and muscular flavors of stunning complexity and a driving, punchy and mouth coating finish. While this could be approached now with pleasure, it is still on the ascendency and will require at least another decade before arriving at its apogee. A great, great Champans, indeed, reference standard.
