Comte Armand Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets 2016

(only two barrels produced with no new wood). The more elegant nose features notes of distinctly cool and airy essence of cherry, spicy and floral elements and in particular violet. The sleek, intense and relatively dense medium-bodied flavors also flash ample minerality on the serious, long and lingering finish where a faint hint of warmth arises. This moderately firm effort is a combination of power and finesse. (90-93)/2024+. Issue 70 - Allen Meadows' Burghound
