Aromas of dark, smoky plums and berries mingle with nuances of rich soil and grilled meat, introducing the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Frémiets, a medium to full-bodied wine that's ample and layered, with a deep core of concentrated fruit, sweet and supple structuring tannins, and a long finish. The charm of the vintage has tempered the muscularity of Frémiets to make for an unusually giving wine.
