Tasting notes
The 2013 Volnay Fremiets is one of the more floral, mid-weight wines in this lineup. Cherry pit, crushed flowers mint and white pepper all take shape in the glass. A bit more pliant on the mid-palate than the aromatic suggests, the Fremiets is another wine where balance rules the day. Distinct stony and saline notes add the final layers of nuance.

Leaves and hazelnuts on the nose. Great fresh, fruity attack. Embryonic but convincingly pure. (JR)
Deep ruby-red. Deep, liqueur-like ripeness to the smoky nose. Very rich, pliant and deep, but given shape by a solid mineral backbone. This fine-grained wine finishes impressively broad, with serious tannins and a suggestion of dried fruits.
The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet has a very seductive, effortless bouquet that unfolds in the glass with raspberry, wild strawberry and a distant scent of pine cones that is beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle but insistent grip. There is an abiding sense of symmetry here with very good length in the mouth. Tightly coiled at the moment, it will repay four or five years in bottle. This is a refined Volnay.
