Although the vines for this Fremiets are very close to those for the Clos des Angles bottling the style is very different ? it is much more mineral almost salty with bright black fruit notes of violets and spice and a texture with abundant tannic grip and an almost chewy feel. The domaine farms nearly 1.6 hectares on the steeper slopes with shallow soils. Although it is not as reserved as the Clos des Ducs this would benefit from five years of age before opening. (Drink between 2025-2050)

Aromas of kirsch black raspberry anise and plenty of spice nuances are trimmed in just enough oak to notice. The suave palate coating and solidly concentrated flavors possess a richer and more generous mouthfeel where equally fine-grained tannins shape the less mineral-driven but slightly longer finish. In the context of what is typical this is a relatively powerful Frémiets that is very much built to repay extended keeping. (Drink starting 2034)
Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
Offering up aromas of raspberries plums sweet spices and petals the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is medium to full-bodied pure and lively with refined powdery tannins and a fine-boned elegant profile. Guillaume d'Angerville and technical director François Duvivier once again opted to pick early in 2022 beginning harvest on August 23 to produce a crop of pure fine-boned perfumed reds that will delight Burgundy purists. As I've written before followers of d'Angerville will be familiar with the protocol here: biodynamic farming destemmed grapes classical macerations and élevage in barrels?of which some 20% are new with older barrels generally being retained for five vintages. These have always been seriously long-lived wines but contemporary d'Angerville isn't quite as backward and slow to evolve as the wines were in the days of Guillaume d'Angerville's father. The use of barrels with a somewhat younger average age?even if percentages of new wood remain very modest?gives them a slightly glossier patina especially in their youth. Published: Jan 18 2024
