Pure purple fruits pop out on the nose. They are lifted by toast and vanilla bean. This is a surprisingly dense Volnay that comes from the bottom of Frémiet near Clos des Angles and that sits in a mere dusting of brown clay before the vines hit limestone slabs. The tannins are a bit punchy and the acidity lights up the palate. It wouldn't hurt to wait a few years for the zippiness to relax.
