2017 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet Marquis d'Angerville, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet, Marquis d'Angerville

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets offers up aromas of plums, cassis, wood smoke, dark chocolate and rich soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, chalk and structured palate that's firmer and more muscular than the supple, giving Clos des Angles. The soils here are thinner and the wine inherently less gourmand, but it will reward the patient with lovely purity and transparency. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet, Marquis d'Angerville

A slightly more deeply pitched nose displays an evident spiciness to the plum, dark raspberry and violet-scented aromas. The highly energetic and intense medium weight flavors offer even more minerality on the well-detailed flavors that possess more depth and a bit more length as well on the firmer finish. This is very Frémiets in character and a wine that should amply reward extended keeping. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet, Marquis d'Angerville

The 2017 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with veins of blue fruit that strafe the vibrant raspberry and crushed strawberry. Here there is fine mineralité tucked just underneath. The palate is vibrant, almost effervescent on the entry with blood orange infusing the red fruit, great tension and quite pointed tannin, a Fremiet that is bursting with life. Superb. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
