Tremblay's 2023 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of the wines of the vintage, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, exotic spices, confit orange and incense. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's serious and elegantly muscular, its fleshy, layered core of fruit framed by a chassis of sweet, ultra-refined tannins and animated by lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish.
In 2022, Cécile Tremblay regained control over appreciable additional holdings in Beaux Monts and Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard—family vineyards that had been leased out in a sharecropping agreement to another grower. That necessitated an extended winery and cellar, and Tremblay took the opportunity to add a cold room to facilitate the reception of fruit in warm conditions, a more and more common occurrence on the Côte d'Or. In 2023, she has added Clos de Vougeot, in addition to discovering that a notarial error had relegated to "mere" Beaux Monts a parcel in fact entitled to the Echézeaux appellation. In 2024, what's more, a small holding of Griotte-Chambertin enters production. All this expansion hasn't come at the expense of quality—far from it, as the 2023 vintage is one of Tremblay's most accomplished to date, continuing an uninterrupted series of home runs for one of contemporary Burgundy's greatest vigneronnes that began in 2019. In the June 2022 Week 1 issue of The Wine Advocate (published June 9), I devoted an extensive article to Cécile Tremblay's Chapelle-Chambertin—and her domaine's past, present and future—so readers looking for more in-depth information regarding her methods are directed there.

Tremblay has once again outdone herself with the 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, a brilliant wine in the making that unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and cherries mingled with exotic spices, peonies, blood orange and licorice discreetly framed by new oak. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, this vibrant, seamless wine is, as usual, one of the least evolved in the cellar, emphasizing length, whereas the Echézeaux emphasizes breadth. It concludes with a long, resonant finish.

2013 is a cool, late-ripening vintage in Champagne, defined by an October harvest in cool but sunny conditions. With a dosage of 5.5 grams per liter, the 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil possesses a complex, fruity bouquet mingling aromas of orchard fruit with notions of lemon oil, exotic fruits, spring flowers, almond and hints of menthol and buttery pastry. Full-bodied, rich and dense, with lively acids, it’s more complex and incisive than the 2002 and exhibits similar power to the 2012 at this early stage. Despite what was a challenging growing season for some producers, this is a superb Salon with a long, resonant finish.
