There is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background and render the nose difficult to assess. Otherwise there is an opulent mouth feel to the impressively concentrated middle weight flavors that exhibit plenty of minerality on the sleek, intense and palate coating finale. Note that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that the reduction will dissipate with a few years of bottle age.

Bright, dark red. Wild, reduced, very ripe aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, smoked meat, animal fur and chocolate. Sweet and round but with a continuing reductive quality keeping the middle palate closed today. Darker fruits here but with a bit of the sour edge shown by the village wine. Finishes with slightly edgy tannins. In an awkward stage today.

The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets has an engaging bouquet: leafy red berry fruit, cranberry and raspberry pastille, although there is still some oak to be subsumed here. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, a pinch of black pepper on the tip of the tongue, though needing more flesh and weight to develop on the finish. Not bad, but not the best I have encountered this vintage.

Open fruit and not the noblest nor the longest living but with lots of sweet, slightly oaky charm. (JR)
