Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
A ripe, resonant Burgundy, 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cabottes is laced with plum, black cherry and menthol. This is an especially rich, intense style of Chambolle. With time in the glass, the wine takes on darker tonalities as the broad shoulders fill out. I imagine the 2011 will drink well pretty much upon release.
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!
