Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay Frémiets – Volnay – Red – 2021:

 

The Epitome of Burgundian Elegance: Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets

The Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets Red from Domaine Henri Boillot is a masterclass in elegant Pinot Noir. Sourced from one of Volnay’s most highly-regarded Premier Cru vineyards, this luxury red wine perfectly captures the appellation’s signature finesse and velvety texture. It is a must-have for any serious collector of fine Burgundy.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: A lifted and complex bouquet featuring bright red fruit (wild raspberry, cherry), delicate floral undertones of dried rose petals, and a hint of sweet spice and forest floor earthiness.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is immediately silky and refined. The mid-palate is pure and concentrated, showcasing vibrant red berry flavors framed by ultra-fine, polished tannins. A lively acidity provides structure and remarkable persistence.
• Finish: Long, ethereal, and beautifully balanced, leaving a lasting impression of purity and terroir.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

To fully appreciate its complexity, serve this Premier Cru slightly cool, ideally at 60-62°F (16°C). We recommend a brief decanting for younger vintages.

• Food Pairings: Pan-seared duck breast with a cherry or port reduction, beef tenderloin, or slow-roasted pheasant.
• Cellaring: While enjoyable in its youth, this wine has the structure to evolve beautifully, offering peak enjoyment between 10 and 15 years.
