Domaine Faiveley
Volnay Premier Cru Fremiets
This old vine parcel, acquired by Domaine Faiveley in 2007, is situated midway up the hillside above the Route des Grands Crus near the Pommard appellation. It is known as “the Chambolle of the Côte de Beaune” on account of its smoothness and velvety texture and differs greatly in style from the adjacent Pommard plot.
Plot: 0.74 ha. Facing east and southeast, it spreads over a filtering clay-limestone soil enriched with the finest clays, imparting exceptional finesse to the wine.
