I only tasted two d'Angerville 1993s, both of which were excellent, potentially superb wines that have tamed the vintage's tannin, and achieved the great concentration and ripeness that many wines do not possess. The Volnay Champans is the most backward, but it exhibits a saturated dark ruby/purple color, tart acidity, beautifully vibrant, rich, concentrated berry fruit, medium body, and excellent length. It requires 7-10 years of cellaring and should last for 20 years. I have to admit I have consistently underrated the wines of d'Angerville, no doubt because of poor examples I tasted state-side that in retrospect were probably not handled properly in the distribution chain. However, vintages since 1989 have impressed me for their silky richness, firm structure, and pure, concentrated Pinot Noir fruit. I have come to believe that d'Angerville's lofty reputation is largely justified by his wines. In such top vintages as 1990 and 1993, these are wines that can be cellared for up to 15-20 years.
