Domaine Cécile Tremblay

Cécile Tremblay welcomed me to her winery in Morey-Saint-Denis on the final day of my visit. This time, we tasted down in the barrel cellar instead of the mezzanine. Readers will notice two cuvées from Echézeaux, one from an additional purchase that in 2022 she had to label as Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru since she was awaiting authorization. Tasting them side by side, I can understand why she has chosen not to blend them together as they are very different in style. Tremblay told me that she conducted strict de-budding and pruning early in the season, whilst two parcels underwent a double green harvest. “It was a relatively healthy season, and we didn’t have to use too much copper,” she explains. “I was surprised [at the yields] which are 36 hl/ha. We started the harvest on September 9 and finished on September 18, so it was quite long. There were two phases – the first just picking in the morning, whilst it was cooler during the second. It was hard, intense, in the winery as there was a lot of fruit coming in, a bit like 2009. Alcohol levels are 13.1% to 13.2%.”
