2021 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet Marquis d'Angerville, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2021 Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet, Marquis d'Angerville

A slightly riper nose reflects cool and airy aromas of spicier red cherry, plum and an all but invisible touch of oak. There is a bit more volume if not quite the same delicacy to the medium-bodied flavors that flash evident minerality on the firm, youthfully austere and dusty bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. As is usually the case, this is more structured than the Clos des Angles (note that the suggested initial drinking window here is for 750 ml whereas the Clos des Angles is in magnum format) though it could be approached after 5 to 7 years. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 23
