The medium-to-dark ruby-colored Volnay Fremiets (a vineyard located on the northern edge of Volnay, touching Pommard) displays mineral, metal, flower, and blueberry-infused aromas. It is very ripe (jammy but focused), medium-to-full-bodied, chewy-textured, and packed with grapes, plums, cherries, and boysenberries. This well-defined wine should be at its best between 1999 and 2006. If the wines I tasted out of the assembling tanks reflect what ultimately is bottled (I have no tasting experience comparing both pre- and post-bottling wines from Domaine Jean Boillot) then Henri Boillot will most certainly have crafted three outstanding Volnays.
