CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2021 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru is perfumed on the nose with rose petals and iris flowers infusing cranberry and strawberry fruit. Maybe it just lacks a bit of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a slightly chalky texture and gentle grip with a structured and more Pommard-inspired finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.

Light to mid cherry red. Dark-red fruit, lively, peppery. (I sneezed.) Dry, refined texture. Taut, seems a little less rich than the Vieilles Vignes but has greater persistence and the tannins add to the lovely freshness. Elegance not power. Length rather than depth, and greater ageing potential. I think the Vieilles Vignes is better value. (JH)
