94+ points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff Guide) (3/23/22).
94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "This 1.6ha parcel is in the middle of the slope, two metres above the Clos des Angles on poor, stony soils over a limestone base. Crunchy, elegant and refined, it has lovely texture, raspberry sweetness and fine-boned tannins, finishing with a saline, mineral bite. Drinking Window: 2023-2030. (Nov 2018)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with veins of blue fruit that strafe the vibrant raspberry and crushed strawberry. Here there is fine mineralité tucked just underneath. The palate is vibrant, almost effervescent on the entry with blood orange infusing the red fruit, great tension and quite pointed tannin, a Fremiet that is bursting with life. Superb. Drink: 2022-2040. (Jan 2019)"
91-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.57 ha parcel). A slightly more deeply pitched nose displays an evident spiciness to the plum, dark raspberry and violet-scented aromas. The highly energetic and intense medium weight flavors offer even more minerality on the well-detailed flavors that possess more depth and a bit more length as well on the firmer finish. This is very Frémiets in character and a wine that should amply reward extended keeping. Drink: 2029+. (Apr 2019)"
90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Fine fresh mid purple, this has quite a discreet nose of dark red fruit yet with the suggestion of some power behind. Very little soil in top of the rock which somehow speaks as much of Pommard even though the rock is white limestone typical of Volnay. There is a succulence behind which is very engaging and with good depth too. Always a very early site. Tasted: November 2018. (Nov 2018)"
90-92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets offers up aromas of plums, cassis, wood smoke, dark chocolate and rich soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, chalk and structured palate that's firmer and more muscular than the supple, giving Clos des Angles. The soils here are thinner and the wine inherently less gourmand, but it will reward the patient with lovely purity and transparency. (Jan 2019)"
