The 2022 Bourgogne C?te d'Or offers up lovely aromas of red cherries, wild berries and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit and sweet, melting tannins, it's especially charming this year.
In the June 9, 2022 issue of The Wine Advocate, I devoted an extensive article to C?cile Tremblay's Chapelle-Chambertin?and her domaine's past, present and future?so readers looking for more depth are directed there. The 2022 vintage, reviewed here, marks a point of departure for Tremblay, as she regained control over appreciable additional holdings in Beaux Monts and Morey-Saint-Denis Tr?s Girard?family vineyards which 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 C?te d'Or. It's testimony to her exacting standards that she's elected to bottle her new Beaux Monts separately as a generic Vosne-Roman?e premier cru, since she felt they didn't have the cut and energy of the wine produced from her historic parcel.

The 2020 Bourgogne Cote d'Or is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with hints of petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, vibrant and fleshy, it's a deep, lively wine with promising structure and back-end grip to sustain bottle age. As I've written before, this cuvee corresponds with the bottling formerly known as "La Croix Blanche," and it derives from well-situated parcels in the communes of Vosne-Romanee and Chambolle-Musigny.
