VOLNAY 1er Cru Fremiets Domaine Comte Armand 2018
The 2018 Volnay Les Frémiets 1er Cru is very expressive on the nose with loamy notes filtering through the layers of black and red fruit. I find superb minerality here, the aromatics seem to "expand" with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very lithe and velvety smooth. Moderate depth towards the finish, this has a lovely salinity that maintains freshness all the way through. Excellent.
VOUGEOT 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots Domaine Christian Clerget 2019
Fine medium purple, perhaps a fraction more volatile here. Justine tells me that this is typical of the vineyard. Excellent intensity of energetic light raspberry fruit, then some more tannins behind. Intense fresh cherries too, but the wine is sturdier and less graceful than the Chambolles. Tasted: November 2020 3/5 stars
