"The traditional d’Angerville style of the 2024s from Etienne Chaix was every bit as evident in this beautiful bottle of young Champans. The bouquet is deep and focused, wafting from the glass in a refined blend of red plums, cherries, gamebird, mustard seed, a superb base of dark soil tones, cedar and a lovely touch of lavender in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, complex and full-bodied, with a great core of fruit, fine soil inflection and grip, fine-grained tannins and good backend bounce from the lovely acids on the long and impeccably balanced finish. First class Volnay in the making!"
