The 2010 Volnay Fremiets emerges from the glass with dark red berries, flowers, licorice and hard candy. This, too, is quite floral and delicate. An ethereal, slightly fleeting finish rounds out this gracious, highly attractive Volnay. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
Comte Armand’s Clos des Epeneaux remains one of the most fairly priced wines in the world considering quality that is equal or above that of many wines with much higher pedigrees on paper. Recent bottles of the 2002 and 2003 were stunning.
