Cookie dough drenched in red cherries come to mind when dipping one’s nose in the glass of the 2003 Volnay Fremiets (red). Lush, medium-bodied, and broad, this wine coats the taster’s palate with oodles of sweet red fruits and rose petals. Armed with gorgeous purity, depth, and length, it is slightly hampered by the strictness of its finish. Projected maturity: 2006-2014.
