Vinous, January 2024

(VN 92-94 points) The 2022 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru presents a dark, almost somber expression of Volnay. Blue/purplish fruit, new leather, licorice and lavender infuse the 2022 with striking complexity and dimension...

The 2022 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets is a striking representation of Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region. This wine comes from the Volnay appellation, particularly the Fremiets sub-appellation, known for producing elegant and refined wines. The 2022 vintage of this wine is notable for its deep complexity and robust character.

Vinous reviewer Antonio Galloni awarded the wine an impressive score of 94 points, praising its "dark, almost somber expression" and noting the presence of "blue/purplish fruit, new leather, licorice, and lavender" that contribute to its complexity and dimension. Galloni also highlighted the wine's "gravel, dried flowers, and dark spice" which add layers of intrigue to this "decidedly virile, imposing Volnay." He mentioned that while the tannins might need some time to soften, the wine is abundant with fruit.

Jasper Morris, reviewing for Inside Burgundy, gave the wine a score range of 90-93 points. He remarked on its "full crimson purple" color and described the wine as having ripe raspberry notes complemented by peonies. Morris characterized the wine as "no more than medium-bodied," yet possessing an "intensity of bright yet rich fruit," leaning towards the riper side. He noted that this was the first pick of the season, already reaching 13.5% alcohol, which suggests a ripe, early harvest.

Overall, the 2022 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets is a wine of notable depth and richness, with a robust fruit profile and complex aromatic elements. Both reviewers highlight its potential for aging, suggesting that it will continue to develop and refine over time.
