D'Angerville's 2019s are stunning.
Simply put, d'Angerville produced a can't miss collection in 2019. For many, this is among the best collection of the vintage.

Today, I'm happy to offer the high point of the 2019 collection - the 1er Clos des Ducs.
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 at 324 meters and is a steep, southeast-facing slope with chalky soils. Simply put, Clos des Ducs is a special site.
The 2019 Ducs is epic. Burghound nails the wine when he simply sums it up as "brilliant." The wine works at an incredible scale and with precision. Everything is in place for a legendary example of the wine.
I'm going to bring this to a close. D'Angerville is one of our favorite producers. I buy the 2019 Ducs every chance that I get. It's become very hard to locate and this may be my last opportunity to offer this incredible achievement.

Burghound: "A gorgeously broad-ranging nose is comprised by notes of earth, spice, plum, dark cherry, violet and subtle wood. The sleek but rich and impressively scaled flavors possess fine density and evident power that carries over to the sappy, mineral-suffused, and palate coating finish that is admirably persistent. I very much like the balance of the muscular finale that makes clear that this is going to require an extended siesta in a cool cellar. In a word, brilliant."
