Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Moderately saturated medium red. Nicely perfumed aromas and flavors of currant, licorice and flowers. At once dense and juicy, showing a subtle sweetness even if it's not yet particularly expressive in the middle palate. But this is thick, creamy and serious for village wine and its solid tannins are fully supported by its mid-palate material. Here's a 2015 that was enriched by a long élevage and late bottling. Seamless, energetic and long for village wine.

(30% new oak, but this sample came from a one-year-old barrel): Bright dark red. Wild, musky aromas of raspberry, mocha and minerals. A bomb of purple fruits in the mouth, with its sucrosité tempered by notes of violet and spices. This creamy-sweet village wine finishes with surprisingly firm, slightly dusty tannins and excellent length.

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!
