2023, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, VOLNAY, 1er Cru, 'Fremiets'

The 2023 Frémiets from d'Angerville features a burst of blueberry and pomegranate fruit with a firm mineral underpinning. It has less tannin than I remember, but there is impeccable balance and weight. The grapes are from his 1.57ha holding at the northern edge of the premier cru band, up the slope from the Clos des Angles. The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented with native yeasts before ageing with a modest proportion of new wood to create this lovely, lively wine.
94 Charles Curtis MW, Decanter.

The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is deeper-pitched [than Les Angles], wafting from the glass with notes of raspberries, plums and liquorice. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with a succulent core of fruit, polished tannins and a saline finish
91-93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

The 2023 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has a taut and fresh with touches of oyster shell filtering through the bright red fruit. The palate is ripe on entry, silky smooth in texture, and this displays fine delineation. There is more grip and backbone here with a sapid, peppery finish that lingers. This has a sensuality that I hope is captured once in bottle.
91-93 Neal Martin, Vinous.
