Domaine Marquis d'Angerville is a Burgundy wine estate located in Volnay whose history dates back to 1507 when the King of France François 1er took over the vineyard of Volnay abandoned by the Dukes of the House of Burgundy. At the time, it covered 275 hectares, or about 65 hectares, in the Caillerets, Fremiet, Champans, l'Ormeau and Taillepieds climates, and has changed very little in more than 5 centuries.
The d'Angerville family became the owners of the Clos des Ducs estate in 1804, through their direct ancestor, the Baron du Mesnil. The 20th century saw Sem d'Angerville take the reins, just after the great phylloxera crisis that destroyed the vineyard, and launch a vast program of re-planting Pinot Noir. His son Jacques took over in 1952 and worked tirelessly to develop the great wines of Volnay and Burgundy, also taking over the presidency of the Interprofessional Committee of Burgundy Wines.
Since 2003, Guillaume d'Angerville has been at the helm, supported by brother-in-law Renaud de Villette, an agricultural engineer, and François Duvivier, head of viticulture and wine ageing and a graduate in oenology from the University of Dijon. His first objective in 2005 was the conversion of the estate to biodynamics. In 2006, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville began its conversion to biodynamics, which has now been completed. It marked the total abandonment of all chemicals to the estate.
Yields are naturally limited to 35 hectolitres per hectare thanks to Pinot Noir plants from a low-yielding strain selected by Sem and Jacques d'Angerville in their time. This particularly fine and low-yielding strain was recognized and named "Pinot d'Angerville".
