Echezeaux Grand Cru du dessus Cécile Tremblay 2016
The wine
This is one of the most renowned climats in the Echezeaux Grand Cru. Cécile Tremblay vinifies her Pinot Noir is wooden vats and matures the wine in barrels for 15 to 18 months. The wine has a nice velvety mouthfeel. A few years of aging will allow it to develop flavourful tertiary aromas and to refine its tannins.
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.
