Product Description:
Taillepieds at full stride—precision, poise, and quiet power. The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds from Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is a study in tension and terroir. Perched on one of Volnay’s steepest, rockiest slopes, this site yields fruit with a striking mineral drive and savoury depth. In a warm vintage like 2022, it’s a wine that offers earlier generosity than usual, but beneath the plush black fruit lies the framework for serious ageing.
This is Pinot at its most articulate—violets, blood orange, crushed raspberries and that signature Taillepieds chalk. The palate is sleek but structured, finishing with a touch of salinity and tannins that will melt gracefully with time. Farmed organically and handled with restraint in the cellar, this is a bottling that captures both site and season with clarity and finesse.
Drink 2027 to 2050+. Pour it alongside duck confit, game birds, or earthy mushroom dishes for a Burgundy experience with both soul and structure.

Reviews & Accolades
"The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds is terrific, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and plums mingled with notions of rose petals, sweet soil tones and spices... deep and elegantly muscular, with a sweet core of fruit and youthfully assertive tannins, it will require but also reward patience." – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 95 Points
"The 2022 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet... pure Pinoté... filigree tannins that belie the almost Pommard-like backbone of this Volnay... this should age with style. Excellent." – Neal Martin, Vinous, 94 Points
"Ripe yet attractively fresh aromas of wet stone, plum and a range of floral elements... youthfully austere, hugely long and linear finale that is pungently mineral in character. Don’t miss!" – Allen Meadows, Burghound, 93–95 Points
