(Comte Armand Volnay Fremiets) From the bottom of the Fremiets vineyard. racked in September. It's a vineyard that concentrates the heat, so tends to be picked 2-3 days earlier than close-by vineyards. It's a mix of 30 and 55 year-old vines and unlike many in Volnay there was no frost here in 2003, still, only 25hl/ha were produced. The cold nose is fresh and shows red berries and a warm edge. Nicely intense fruit in a linear fashion, just an extra brush of tannin on the finish. Very well balanced.
