"Not as structured as the 1999s but agreeable wines, to drink in five or six years," says Jacques d'Angerville of his 2000s. Grape sugars were in the 12.6 to 12.7% range, as in '99, but the acidity level was lower. Yields were actually a bit lower in 2000 (42, vs 45 in '99), but the '99s here are richer and deeper.

Jacques d'Angerville has a very strong set of '99s in the works, despite having produced close to 50 hectoliters per hectare. "There were a lot of grapes, but the grapes were small," explained d'Angerville son-in-law Renaud de Vilette. "Both acidity and sugar levels were higher than those of '98. The '98s have a more grilled taste, due in part to sunburn in early August, and this characteristic reinforces the natural dryness of these wines." The domain has given its fruit a pre-fermentation cold soak since 1995. Part of the Volnay Champans and the Clos des Ducs are vinified in cuves in which automatic pigeage is done, but d'Angerville uses only a twice-daily remontage for his other wines, never punching down the cap manually. Vilette noted that some acidification was needed during the vinification of the low-acid 2000 harvest, but not in '99 or '98.
