2015 Domaine Cecile Tremblay, Les Cabottes - Chambolle Musigny - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Domaine Cécile Tremblay is a small Burgundy estate based in Morey-Saint-Denis with a rising reputation. It produces a range of village and premier cru wines made from Pinot Noir along the Côte de Nuits, including wines from Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Cécile Tremblay also makes two grand cru wines: Chapelle-Chambertin and Échezeaux Du Dessus.

The domaine was founded in 2003 by Cécile Tremblay, the great-grandaughter of Edouard Jayer (himself uncle of the legendary Henri Jayer), who took control of three hectares (7.5 acres) of vineyard that had been owned by her family but leased to other producers. She has since claimed another hectare of land, and will claim three more in 2021 when the current leases end.

Since its creation, the estate has been farmed biodynamically and organically. Fruit is manually harvested and fermented with some stems in wooden vats – although the top wines are whole bunch-fermented. The wine is then aged in barrel for 15 to 18 months.
