The Buyer | Tasting new Marquis d’Angerville 2024 with Guillaume and Margot

Guillaume d’Angerville was in London with daughter Margot to show the new 2024 wines – a vintage he describes as the worst growing season in the history of the estate. Not that the wines showed it, as Roger Jones discovered. One factor for the vines’ resilience is the conversion to biodynamics that happened 20 years ago, on the advice of Anne-Claude Leflaive. Jones gets the inside track on the new vintage along with the influence of the family – from being instrumental in creating the Burgundy AOC system, and with the current preservation of the region's heritage through the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne.
