1999 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru "Clos des Ducs" Groth turned in a superbThe 1999 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs has always been an impressive wine, although here I did not think it quite achieved the level of the bottle poured at the vertical back in September 2010.

The palate has very good density and balance, more structure and more sinew than the 2002 Clos
