D'Angerville's Champans is simultaneously an intense and elegant expression of Volnay.
It shows the village's powerful and deeply mineral side while remaining beautifully detailed and finessed.

The 2017 Champans captures the site with stunning precision. I really like its iron minerality and impeccable focus and verve.
D’Angerville’s 2017 Champans shows a brilliant complexity and saturating minerality. There's superb precision and radiant clarity. Finally, the wine combines levity with a thrilling drive. The combination is impressive.
There’s a sleek refinement and a riveting, tensile energy to the wine. When you consider the impressive structure and concentration, the ageability becomes obvious. In general, Champans ages very well. The 2017 has all the markings of a brilliant edition of Champans.
