2024 Volnay Fremiets

Tasting notes
In 2024, Boillot’s Volnay saw exceptionally small yields of just 15hl/ha, yet the resulting wine is utterly captivating. Fragrant and lively, it opens with aromas of freshly picked summer strawberries. On the palate, it is pure and succulent, its pale ruby colour reflecting the delicacy within. A subtle, stony tension lifts the vibrant, lingering finish – an elegant, finely structured expression of Volnay. It is a real shame that they couldn't produce more, what a pleasant wine, with long ageing potential and young approachability.

A slightly more sombre crimson. I am coaxing out some red fruit on the nose, then the intensity rather surprises on the palate. Now I can find more on the nose as well. A suggestion of peonies along with brisk and rather peppery raspberry.
