Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Fremiets, Volnay Premier Cru, France 2023
Fremiets, Volnay Premier Cru 2023 offers a deeper, more structured expression of Volnay from this warm, well-exposed premier cru site. Farmed biodynamically and made from 100% Pinot Noir, it opens with aromas of ripe red and dark cherry, rose petal, spice, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is generous yet precise, with vibrant acidity and finely grained but firm tannins that give the wine shape and aging potential. Compared to other Volnay crus, Fremiets shows more power and breadth, finishing long and savory while retaining the domaine’s hallmark elegance.
"The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is deeper-pitched than Les Angles, wafting from the glass with notes of raspberries, plums and licorice. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with a succulent core of fruit, polished tannins and a saline finish." Wine Advocate 91-93
