🏰 The 2018 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans 1er Cru is a benchmark of great Volnay, offering exceptional finesse, fullness, and length with an added layer of generosity and power. This vintage unwinds in the glass with aromas of 【cherries, red berries, spices, and rose petals】, underpinned by an elegantly muscular chassis of powdery tannin and lively acids. Expect notes of black cherries, blueberry, and light cassis, revealing crushed stone and undergrowth, all delivered with superb delineation. It's medium to full-bodied, layered, and velvety, with real long-term potential. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic French dishes like roasted poultry, especially duck and goose, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses. Consider coq au vin, mushroom risotto, or even a delicate lamb chop with rosemary. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a special occasion where a classic, age-worthy Burgundy will be appreciated. It's also a fantastic choice for a quiet evening to savor its evolving complexity.
