2017 Volnay, 1er Cru Fremiets, Domaine Tawse (6 x Bottle)
The 2017 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru contains 50% whole clusters, matured in 20% new oak. It has quite an intense, slightly broody, marine-influenced bouquet, the oak discreet in its supporting role. The palate is well balanced and quite concentrated, with touches of black olive infusing the black fruit. The taut, linear finish feels long and tender. Excellent.

Vinous
The 2017 Volnay Fremiets 1er Cru has a very well-defined and focused bouquet of vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, with plenty of mineralité underneath. The well-balanced palate displays good depth and a slight patina of oak still to be folded in. Linear and quite strict, this is Pommard-like in style toward the finish, where a residue of spice lingers on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
