"I too have long thought that the d'Angerville 2010s may be the best wines made here in the 21st Century but the breathtakingly good 2020s may indeed one day supplant them. " -Burghound
Guillaume d'Angerville and Burghound agree that the domaine's 2020s are some of the best ever produced.

D'Angerville's 2020s blew me away when I tasted them in 2022. They are wines of incredible freshness, depth, and class. In short, it's the total package.
Today, I'm happy to offer two of d'Angerville's top 2022s, the 1er Crus Champans and Clos des Ducs.
As you can guess, the 2020 Champans is a jaw-dropping wine. It has an incredibly lovely texture and energetic core. The Champans possesses an explosive complexity with dark fruits, exotic spices, and a mineral undercurrent. D'Angerville's Champans is one of Burgundy's distance runners.
Clos des Ducs produces some of the most intense, mineral-driven, and deeply complex examples of red Burgundy. The 2.4-hectare monopole can trace its roots back at least 500 years. It has a high elevation of 324 meters and is a steep, southeast-facing slope with chalky soils. Simply put, Clos des Ducs is a special site.
The 2020 Ducs has a level of concentration and structure that leaves little doubt that it will serve as a monument to this great wine. The wine works at an incredible scale and with precision. With all of its class, refinement, and impeccable breeding, the 2020 Ducs is a staggering success.
Burghound was seriously impressed by the 2020 Ducs and wrote: "This stunningly good Clos des Ducs is a clear candidate for the best Côte de Beaune red in the 2020 vintage."
