Volnay Frémiets

Pinot Noir

Chanzy’s Volnay 1er Cru Frémiets comes from a historic parcel believed to have belonged to members of the Frémy family in the late 19th century, giving the climat its traditional name.

Wine Production

Cold maceration, grapes destemmed with pumping over and punching down during vinification. Aged 17 months, including 12 months in oak barrels (15% new barrels), followed by 5 months in stainless steel tanks

Tasting Notes

Aromas of ripe fig, blackberry jam and kirsch, enriched by roasted coffee and chocolate notes. More subtle touches of pepper, violet and herbaceous nuances complete a complex, refined bouquet. Concentrated and suave on the palate, with a long, persistent finish.

Food Pairing

Pair with game bird dishes, either roasted or slowly braised as a stew.

About the Vineyard

High up on the Côte de Beaune, narrow and sloping to give the vines room to grow, Volnay is set against the small mountain of Chaignot, forming a slight bend in the general orientation of the slopes: from east to south-east.
