Red dry
A classic Volnay Premier Cru from Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils – one of Burgundy’s traditional estates, where the experience and heritage of both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits come together. “Clos des Angles” is one of the domaine’s most important parcels – a plot of old vines inherited from previous generations.
The nose reveals red cherries, redcurrants, raspberries, violets, rose petals, and subtle notes of spice and earth. This is not an intensely extracted Pinot Noir; its aromatic profile is defined by freshness, floral character, and structure.
On the palate, the wine shows the classic Volnay profile: medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and delicate yet firm tannins providing a solid backbone. The strength of “Clos des Angles” lies in its balance between elegance and concentration.
The vineyard is located below the village of Volnay, on a southeast-facing slope with clay and limestone soils mixed with small stones that provide excellent drainage. These conditions are typical of the classic Volnay style – an elegant, aromatic Pinot Noir where precision and texture are more important than power.
Domaine Lucien Boillot follows a traditional Burgundian approach: native yeasts are used, the vineyards are farmed traditionally, and the wine is aged in oak barrels, with no more than around 30% new oak. The wine is matured for 16–18 months.
Recommended serving temperature: 15–16 °C; pairs perfectly with duck breast, rabbit, and dishes featuring wild mushrooms.
