   One of Burgundy's legendary estates - pioneers of domaine-bottling.

   Book well ahead at domaine-angerville.fr - very limited appointments (~€75+). Jacques d'Angerville was one of the first to bottle and sell estate wines (1930s), fighting négociant fraud. Their Clos des Ducs monopole is legendary - request to taste it specifically.
