"Pure, refined, and elegant" are just a few words that describe Cecile Tremblay’s remarkable wines. Based in Morey-St. Denis, Cecile runs this interesting biodynamic 10 acres domaine in the Côte de Nuits. Beginning with the 2003 vintage she has garnered much acclaim from Burgundy insiders and the wine press alike. She has added several more appellations over the last 5 years. Her approach is organic and biodynamique. Cecile believes in very dense plantings, manual harvesting, some destemming but more and more whole-cluster fermentations, 15 to 18 months of élevage in approximately one-third new oak barrels and bottling without fining or filtering.
