Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Cécile Tremblay 2008

The wine

Produced from one of the sunniest, early ripening terroirs of Gevrey, the Pinot Noir for this civée is picked at perfect ripeness. A silky wine from Cécile Tremblay, with aromas of red fruits; a perfect pairing for small game and seasonal vegetables.

About the Producer Cécile Tremblay

In 2003, Cécile Tremblay was only 25 years old and had just finished her studies when she decided to go back to her hometown to work there. It covered four hectares of vines between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The young winemaker was lucky enough to work in 11 different appellations, including some Grands Crus (Echezeaux and Chapelle-Chambertin), cultivating the vines organically. In just a few years, Cécile Tremblay – whose great uncle is none other than Henri Jayer – has dramatically improved the quality of her wines, becoming one of the must-try rising stars of the Côte-de-Nuits.
