Tasting Notes
Vinous – 92
The 2015 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru is another wine that is initially reduced on the nose, although this dissipates to a degree with time. It develops lovely raspberry, crushed strawberry and orange blossom scents that become very detailed and focused. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, nice poise and energy, and fine tension building toward a vivacious finish replete with red fruit, blood orange and just a hint of beet. What a wonderful Volnay! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035

Herbal and redcurrant character. Wonderfully punchy nose – angular acid, but with enough fruit ripeness and tannin to balance. Chewy finish. (RH)
