but it does so minus that delicate floral embroidery that comes forth with such delight in 2013

plum and mulberry fruit

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

but this is still very attractive

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

Joseph Voillot, Volnay Fremiets Vintage:2023 but it does so minus(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+
