d'Angerville Volnay 1er cru Frémiet 2019

92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Offering up lovely aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums, orange rind, raw cocoa and spices, the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is medium to full-bodied, bright and mineral, with a firmer, more tightly wound profile than the gourmand, enveloping Clos des Angles, concluding with a saline finish. It's a touch more refined and ethereal than the 2018, but like that wine, it's built to age. (Jan 2021)"

93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The d’Angerville vines in Fremiets (1.57ha) are located in the steepest part of the slope, right above Clos des Angles, where there has been lots of erosion. The thin soils mean the vines have struggled, but here they have triumphed, producing a wine with a dark fruit character, touched with exotic spice and a mineral, almost saline note on the palate that almost contradicts the lovely richness and densely fruity character of the wine. Drinking Window: 2024-2034. (Oct 2020)"

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.57 ha parcel). A touch of menthol is present on the slightly riper nose that displays notes of plum, violet and anise. There is good refinement here as well though it's coupled with ample punch and minerality, all wrapped in an impressively long, focused and relatively powerful finish. At least some patience strongly advised. Drink: 2029+. (Apr 2021)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru (an anomaly since most producers label as "Les Fremiets") is very engaging on the nose with beautiful potpourri and rose petal infused red fruit that is very well defined. The palate is well balanced with succulent red cherries, cranberry and strawberry. There is a spiciness here that becomes more pronounced towards the finish with white pepper and clove, leaving the mouth tingling long after this Fremiet has departed. Excellent. Drink: 2023-2040. (Dec 2020)"
