"Formerly known as the cuvée "La Croix Blanche," Tremblay's 2018 Bourgogne Côte d'Or derives from well-situated parcels in the communes of Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Offering up an inviting bouquet of red berries, woodsmoke and raw cocoa that's framed by a deft touch of oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, elegant structuring tannins and lively acids."

"Cécile Tremblay, whose small domaine has at this stage attained cult status, told me that she had found the 2018 vintage "a bit disconcerting—the balance of the wines, the sheer volume of grapes, the degree of ripeness—I never saw anything like it!" Having tasted Tremblay's 2018s shortly after they were pressed, then in spring 2019 and again in fall 2019 when I took the notes published here, I have followed these wines from their inception, and they have gained in definition with élevage while remaining dramatic and textural. These are some of the most lavish, sensual wines Tremblay has produced to date, and they will offer broad windows of irresistible drinking.

As readers may know, winemaking at this address is very intuitive: Cécile follows her palate and her instinct when making decisions such as how large a proportion of whole clusters to retain (often around one-third) or when to carry out a punch-down or pump-over (invariably seldom)—and surely that's why her wines have such a distinctive style. Maturation takes place in barrels from Tonnellerie Chassin, with forest of origin and toast profile adapted carefully to each cuvée every year at Stéphane Chassin's cooperage in Rully, without racking. After spending over a year in her underground cellar, Tremblay's wines ascend to her cuverie in the winter—still in barrel on their lees—where they are prepared for bottling in spring. So I always visit Tremblay early, before the wines are moved, as the lees are undisturbed and the wines easier to taste."
