The Volnay Fremiets are divided into two parcels, one planted in 1950 and the other in 1980. Both border the Pommard appellation, in fact the soil is very similar with a significant concentration of iron oxide. Yet the rock base is more characteristic of Volnay. These wines tend to be delicate and elegant from attack to mid-palate (Volnay) then quickly gain structure for the finish (Pommard).
Vinous
- v92-94
The 2020 Volnay Les Fremiets ler Cru is more earthier on the nose than the Village Cru and demonstrates more red fruit, touches of tobacco and Early Grey emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit, quite saline with a dash of white pepper towards the finish. If you don't manage to grab the Clos des Epeneaux this year, try to get your mitts in this.
