Reviews 90-92 points Wine Advocate "Tremblay produced five barrels of the 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes, a wine that is especially successful this year. Wafting from the glass with notes of orange rind, raspberries, red plums, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and sensual, its velvety structuring tannins entirely concealed by its ample core of bright, vibrant fruit. (WK)" The 2020 Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes is as usual, more reserved at this early stage. Exhibiting notions of plums, dark berry fruit, sweet spices and toasted bread, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, with bright acids and a long, resonant finish. (WK) " Vinous, " The 2020 Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes which contains a little whole bunch, has a tightly-wound bouquet with dark berry fruit, incense and touches of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with an edgy, peppery entry. Quite structured for a Vosne-Romanee, the finish is reminiscent of a Morey-Saint-Denis. (NM)

About Cecile Tremblay
Located in Morey-St-Denis, Domaine Cécile Tremblay has swiftly gained acclaim since its inception in 2003. Sprouting from a mere three hectares to its current size of almost ten, Cécile Tremblay has infused the domaine with vigor and tenacity, substantiated by her athletic and spirited demeanor. An innovative vigneronne, she's the first in her family to take the reins, inheriting the legacy of her great-grandfather, Edouard Jayer, a notable cooper, and kin to the legendary Henri Jayer.
The vineyards sprawl between Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin, and while historic ties draw connections to renowned producers like Henri Jayer, Tremblay’s approach—embracing whole bunch fermentation—departs radically from her celebrated uncle’s 100% destemmed method. This divergence underlines Tremblay's singular vision and commitment to authenticity.
Bearing the influence of both traditional and innovative techniques, the wines resonate with profound depth and unique character. Notable cuvées include Echezéaux and Chapelle-Chambertin, each reflecting the terroir's intricate balance of clay-limestone marls atop mid-Jurassic limestone bedrock.
Ecologically conscious, Tremblay transitioned to biodynamic farming, securing organic certification in 2005 and biodynamic certification in 2016. Her meticulous vineyard care involves both mechanical and equine plowing, complemented by judicious treatments and herbal preparations. Grapes, once harvested, experience a traditional winemaking process with an old-fashioned vertical press, and age in handpicked barrels.
Cécile Tremblay’s wines, especially offerings like the legendary Echezéaux, embody the amalgamation of tradition and innovation, sealing her position among Burgundy's elite vignerons. With each vintage, the domaine cements its standing as a beacon of quality and precision in the illustrious landscape of Burgundian winemaking.
