Tasting notes
Mingling notions of cassis, cherries and plums with hints of coniferous forest floor and dark chocolate, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an enveloping, multidimensional core, fine energy and a mouthwateringly saline finish.

The 2018 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru comes from 0.61 hectares of vine that yielded 14 barrels this year. It has a feisty, high-toned bouquet of red currant, kirsch and orange zest aromas, hints of blue fruit emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and good density, the 20% new oak nicely integrated and lending presence on the midpalate. It just requires a little more precision on the finish, though it should age nicely.
