Volnay
1er Cru Fremiets
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.

Tasting
Tasting note
Beautiful dark ruby color for this Volnay on the Pommard side with fruity notes, cold tobacco and undergrowth. Beautiful balance on the palate with tannins still very present, a certain salinity which contrasts with the fat and very good length.
