Henri Boillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Frémiets 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R1,795
‘The 2022 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru presents a dark, almost somber expression of Volnay. Blue/purplish fruit, new leather, licorice and lavender infuse the 2022 with striking complexity and dimension. Gravel, dried flowers and dark spice add lovely complexity to this decidedly virile, imposing Volnay. The tannins need time to soften, but there’s plenty of fruit. 2026-2037’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92-94/100
‘This is also aromatically ripe but fresh with its array of violet, lilac, dark currant and poached plum scents. There is excellent volume to the slightly more concentrated middleweight flavors that flash evident minerality on the impressively complex, persistent, firm and balanced finale. This is excellent and a wine that should drink reasonably well young if you lack patience! 2032+’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100

| Producer information | Based in Meursault, between the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay, Henri Boillot is at the epicentre of great winemaking. The Boillots have been tending vines and making wines since 1885. Henri joined in 1975, bought out his siblings in 2005 and his son, Guillaume, joined in 2008. It totals 19 hectares, with roughly equal surfaces of red and white. Included herein, is 4 hectares of the famous Monopole vineyard of Clos de la Mouchère which has developed a cult following. In a very short space of time, they’ve built an extraordinary reputation for the sheer quality of their Burgundy wines, it is no surprise that Allen Meadows thinks this superstar producer ‘has arguably become the finest pure négoce specializing in white Burgundy today’.
‘Henri Boillot is often quoted as the best white wine négociant in Burgundy and there is no quality difference between his négociant and domaine wines. His son Guillaume is now in charge of the reds, which have seemingly become more elegant, pure and ethereal.’ – Roland Peens |
