d'Angerville Volnay 1er cru Frémiet 2022

95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Although the vines for this Fremiets are very close to those for the Clos des Angles bottling, the style is very different – it is much more mineral, almost salty, with bright black fruit, notes of violets and spice, and a texture with abundant tannic grip and an almost chewy feel. The domaine farms nearly 1.6 hectares on the steeper slopes with shallow soils. Although it is not as reserved as the Clos des Ducs, this would benefit from five years of age before opening. Drinking Window: 2025-2050. (11/2/23)"

94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "These vines are on the steepest slope the domaine owns, so it's not surprising that there is little, brown clay topsoil here. Such vines typically stress in heat and drought, but this wine seems to be more approachable than usual at this stage. Black plums are joined by woodsy spice on the silky and long palate with a vaguely saline finish. The wine does feel a bit square and compact, but there is a very generous fruitiness, too. (2024)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Mid crimson purple. The vineyard is just above Clos des Angles, and bears some similarity on the nose. However, the fruit is a little deeper, and darker on the palate, good acidity here, just a little more structure all round. (Oct 2023)"

93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has more depth and fruit concentration compared to the Clos des Angles. The nose displays a mélange of red and black fruit, pressed flowers and a touch of loam aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, just a slight lactic note on the entry, segueing into a more marine-tinged latter half. A pinch of black pepper appears toward the finish. Give this two or three years in bottle. Drink: 2026-2042. (Jan 2024)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Offering up aromas of raspberries, plums, sweet spices and petals, the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is medium to full-bodied, pure and lively, with refined, powdery tannins and a fine-boned, elegant profile. (1/18/24)"
