Note di degustazione
The 2009 Volnay Les Fremiets shows the wilder side of Volnay in its distinct notes of game, cured meats and dark red fruit. It, too, comes across as young and full of life. This is far from an easygoing 2009 on many counts.

Deep ruby! Knockout high-pitched nose offers blackberry, dark raspberry, spices, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet, plus a note of crushed stone. Silky and highly concentrated, with superb depth of fruit and thrust; brilliant acidity contributes to the wine's vibrant inner-mouth perfume. Finishes with huge, palate-saturating but smooth tannins and a powerful impression of medicinal reserve. "We had thick skins in 2009 and a great skin to juice ratio," said Boillot, noting that this wine had the highest pH of any of his Cote de Beaune cuvees, at a low-for-the-vintage 3.4. Built for a long life in bottle.
