"The 2024 Fremiets was the first wine in the red wine lineup here that got me thinking about the similarity of these wines to those of Jacques d’Angerville back in the day. So, I asked Monsieur Chaix where their vines were in this premier cru in comparison to the d’Angerville family’s parcel, and it turns out that they are next to each other, both located on the Pommard border, with the d’Angerville parcel just above the Voillot vines on the slope. The wine has really turned out beautifully in 2024, offering up scents of red plums, cherries, pigeon, a lovely array of spice tones, a complex base of soil, just a touch of cedary oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and tangy, with a lovely core of sappy red fruit, fine-grained tannins, excellent balance and a long, soil-driven and complex finish. Classy juice. "
