Burghound, April 2009

Here there is no reduction whatsoever with a reasonably expressive nose of red and blue pinot fruit and dried rose petal nuances that dissolve into rich, intense and mineral-inflected flavors of crystalline purity and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2009

Bright black cherry fruit with a distilled overtone augmented by sweetly pungent brown spices greets the nose from a glass of d'Angerville 2006 Volnay Clos Des Ducs. There is an overt sense of density and of chalky...

Wine Spectator, June 2009

Focused cherry, berry and forest underbrush notes are backed by solid tannins. This offers a lot of fruit packed into an elegant frame, but needs time to resolve its tannins. Best from 2012 through 2021. 150 cases...

The 2006 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs is a notable Pinot Noir from the Burgundy region of France, specifically from the Cote de Beaune's Volnay appellation. Produced by the esteemed Marquis d'Angerville, this red wine offers a complex and multilayered experience that has garnered praise from several prominent reviewers.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 91, highlighting its "bright black cherry fruit with a distilled overtone augmented by sweetly pungent brown spices." The review also notes a "sense of density and of chalky minerality," but assures that this does not overshadow the "juicy flow of ripe fruit or a sense of lift and refinement." The wine is described as "well-knit and ineradicable in flavor," with the potential to further develop complexity over the next decade.

John Gilman from View From The Cellar gave the wine a score range of 89-92 points. He describes the 2006 Clos des Ducs as "a bit more modern in style" compared to earlier vintages, but still "a very well-made wine." Gilman notes a "complex and classy nose of cherries, pomegranate, coffee, woodsmoke," and other nuanced aromas. He also mentions the wine's "deep, full-bodied" palate and "long, fairly chewy finish," although he does point out the presence of "wood tannins poking through."

Wine Spectator rated the wine at 90 points, emphasizing its "focused cherry, berry and forest underbrush notes backed by solid tannins." The review suggests that the wine has "a lot of fruit packed into an elegant frame," but also notes that it "needs time to resolve its tannins," recommending it be enjoyed from 2012 through 2021.

Burghound provided the highest score at 93 points, praising the wine's "reasonably expressive nose of red and blue pinot fruit and dried rose petal nuances." The review highlights the wine's "rich, intense and mineral-inflected flavors of crystalline purity and wonderful cut and precision," along with an "exceptionally fresh, deep and mouth coating finish." Burghound describes the wine as "impeccably balanced" and capable of aging gracefully.

Overall, the 2006 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs is a well-regarded Pinot Noir with a complex profile and strong aging potential, making it a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
