Volnay Fremiets Henri Boillot 2017 (750ML)

91-93 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Frémiets displays appealing aromas of smoked meats, plums, wild berries, dark chocolate and rich soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad-shouldered and velvety, with fine-boned structuring tannins cloaked in sapid and succulent fruit." 1/19

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru has a generous, slightly gamey bouquet that unfolds in the glass. The palate is well balanced with sappy red and black fruit infused with liquorish and light tobacco notes forward the structured finish. A spicy residue on the aftertaste lingers for 30 seconds. Give this a couple of years in bottle." 10/18

91 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A more deeply pitched nose reveals notes of dark cherry, plum and raspberry along with pretty spice and violet wisps. The supple and quite round medium-bodied flavors possess a bit more volume if less finesse on the impressively persistent and slightly firmer finish where a trace of wood appears." 04/19

91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Decent concentration of red purple, this has a silky touch then some spicy notes which could be underlying stems but clearly are not since it has been destemmed! There is quite a firm finish which could be related to the skins, but will resolve." 11/18
