2022, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, VOLNAY, 1er Cru, 'Fremiets'

The 2022 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has more complexity and nuance on the nose compared to the Clos des Angles. Well-defined with discrete use of oak (10 to 15% new), gaining intensity in the glass but never fully letting go. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy, slightly chalky tannins on the entry, lending this Volnay tension. This has a fine bead of acidity and a dash of cracked black pepper mixed with sous-bois towards the finish. Give this a few years in bottle - very fine. 92-94 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
