Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru, which includes 30% whole bunches, has a perfumed, enticing bouquet of copious red cherries, crushed strawberry and floral, rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is a juicy, very pure Chambolle-Musigny with a fine bead of acidity and a touch of salinity brightening up the finish. A delightful wine in the making.
About the Producer
Cecile TREMBLAY descends from a long line of vignerons. The story begins in 1921, with the union of Cécile’s great-grandparents, Edouard Jayer, a cooper in Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Esther Fournier who inherited vineyards from her family. Together they established and developed their own Domaine. The domaine’s vineyards were then eventually passed down to their five children. Renée, the youngest daughter, kept her share of the vineyards under métayage. Later on, Renée’s only daughter, Marie-Annick, grew the family holdings with her husband while keeping all vineyards under métayage. Cécile Tremblay, who had studied enology and viticulture in Dijon, reclaimed the family heritage and took over the management of the vineyards in 2002. A year later, Cécile bottled her first wines, Domaine Cécile Tremblay was born!
