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.

This Morey-Saint Denis has a beautiful nose with the fruity notes typical of Pinot Noir and grilled notes (coffee, cocoa) from its oak aging. Yet the élevage is well-integrated and noticeable on the palate, as the wine has lovely elegance. Its racy, sapid profile and length make this village wine a perfect introduction to the domain’s range.
