2020 Volnay 1. Cru Les Fremiets Henri Boillot

Very intense mid purple, very floral, like dried cherries, a bouncing energy up at the front, continues through to the back, good acidity, some slightly dry tannins, but overall a very good prospect. I could believe there were whole bunches here, which there are not. Amazing persistence.

A ripe but reasonably fresh nose offers up its array of dark raspberry liqueur, essence of poached plum and pretty spice wisps. There is fine intensity to the delicious medium weight flavors that flash good minerality on the rich and solidly powerful finish that delivers sneaky good length. This too could actually be opened on the younger side if youthful fruit appeals more to you.
