wrapped in a silky coat of ripe tannins

I very much like the sense of proportion and balance here plus the overall quality is stunning for a villages level wine

In addition to being a highly regarded vintage with perfectly balanced weather conditions

layered and slightly honeyed aromas that precede equally ripe full-bodied flavors that are sleekly muscular

Joseph Voillot, Volnay Fremiets Vintage:2023 wrapped in a silky coat(from vines that average 50+ years of age). Subtle but not invisible wood frames the pungently earthy aromas of ripe red berries, earth and an interesting array of spice and dried orange peel nuances. There is good vibrancy to the sleek and mineral inflected flavors that possess a really lovely mouth feel, all wrapped in a dusty, serious, well balanced and lingering finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. 91 2023+
