Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay 1er Cru "Fremiets"
The wine offers notes of cooked red fruits at the start, but leans on a fresher side afterwards with spicy notes. Strong and rich on the palate. The tannins open up rapidly even if they are ripe and rich. We can feel the influence of the close by Pommard’s terroir. The body is solid but its maturity and roundness also gives a lot of softness, typical of the Volnay appellation.

Average age of vines: Young vine (about 20 years old).
Farming Methods: Conventional | Biodynamic
Maturation: N/A
Soil: Here again, we find a blend of clay and chalk on a hard chalky Jurassic soil with a high concentration of iron: the soil is red with a certain number of rocks. The soils of the middle-hillside are closer to the mother rock. The place is really solar (in a basin) and the maturity is precocious.
