Tasting notes
The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets is promising, mingling aromas of plums and wild berries with hints of rose petals and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish, it's framed by fine, powdery tannins.

On broken limestone, a vineyard offered to a disbelieving Haisma by the broker who so crucially matches growers to winemakers in the Côte d'Or. Slightly smudgy crimson. Intense cassis fruit on the nose. Intense, sweet fruit on the palate with a certain velvetiness of texture. Really quite wild in its panoply of flavours and already very enjoyable, even if embryonic. Zesty, fresh finish. (JR)
The 2019 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru is quite closed on the nose compared to Haisma’s other crus and is just missing a bit of vigor. The palate is ripe and generous with a sweet core of blackberry and tar, though I would have liked more tension on the finish.
