2010 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru

While notably ripe this is restrained and ultra-pure with wonderfully transparent liqueur-like red pinot fruit that is liberally laced with wet stone and spice nuances. There is excellent vibrancy to the intensely mineral-driven and well-delineated flavors that terminate in a mouth coating, austere and impressively persistent finish where a touch of wood surfaces. A really lovely effort of grace and harmony.
