Offering up aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest, peonies and mint, the 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Frémiets is medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with bright acids and a clove-inflected finish.

The 2021 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru is bright and focused, very much on the lighter side, as is the case with the reds this year. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, white pepper, rose petals and cinnamon add lovely aromatic top notes. There is Nebbiolo-like tension to the Fremiets that might not be exactly what Burgundy drinkers are looking for.
