Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
A particular success this year is the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cabottes, a medium to full-bodied wine evocative of raspberries, cherries and petals that displays impressive depth and texture, framed by supple tannins and lively acids.
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cabottes is perfumed on the nose, ebullient red fruit, touches of kirsch and orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, quite fresh, transparent with a tender, graceful finish. Refined.
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!
