"If you can find it, buy it."
2023 Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds

"There is outstanding vibrancy and delineation... If you can find it, buy it." -Burghound

As we've made clear in previous emails, Guillaume d'Angerville has been on a tear in recent vintages. The 2023s are no exception. This is a really stunning collection. 

I was giddy when I tasted the 2023s at the domaine in the fall of 2024. The wines were deep and powerful, like many of the great Angerville vintages, but there was an easy joy to the wines that made them feel effortless and inviting. A couple of weeks ago, I tasted through the entire lineup and the wines were absolutely stunning. On this day, at least, Taillepieds was the obvious best wine on the table. 

The 2023 Taillepieds is irresistible. It has everything that you could want from the site delivered in the most appealing way possible. 

I'm very happy to offer the wine at very sharp pricing. 

Taillepieds is one of d'Angerville's wines that people get obsessed with. There's a group of people who hold Taillepieds even more dear than Ducs.

Taillepieds is all about raciness - it's full of stony minerality and has an intricate depth. The Taillepieds plot sits just above Champans and is very steeply sloped with poor, rocky soil.

The 2023 has a sleek finesse along with serious length and impact. The palate is a beautiful weave of luminous red fruits and spice with an overall impression of fine calibration.

Out of d'Angerville's lineup, Taillepieds is the wine that we constantly have difficulty finding enough to offer. I'm very happy to have landed this parcel. It's a not-to-be-missed red Burgundy.

Burghound: "This is aromatically similar to the Caillerets if more floral in character. There is outstanding vibrancy and delineation to the equally beautifully textured medium weight flavors that are akin to rolling a tiny pebble around the mouth, all wrapped in a moderately austere and impressively persistent finale. While perhaps slightly riper than a classic Taillepieds, this is nonetheless excellent with the development potential to match. If you can find it, buy it."
