The authorities determined that Boillot's parcel of Volnay-Fremiets lost 85% of its production to hail a month before harvest in 2001, yet this admirable wine reflects none of the flavors and textures associated with hail. Gorgeous blueberry and floral aromas can be found in this medium-bodied wine's nose. Admirably pure, balanced, and detailed, it reveals a lovely core of sweet blueberry and cherry fruit. Drink this beauty over the next 5 years.
