The Morey-Saint-Denis Tres Girard 2011 from Cecile Tremblay is a delightful wine. The nose is quite expressive with lovely forward fruit – notes of cherries, raspberries .. hints of plum and slightly toasted oak. On the palate lovely quite openly knit fruit … forward and juicy with a nice weight. It’s offering great pleasure and held it’s ground well served after a Mortet Laveaux Chambertin 1999. This is however not a big terroir wine … but it’s a gorgeous glass of pinot … happy juice!
(Drink From 2020) – Good (88p) – Tasted 28/02/2014.

- Terroir Insight: Cécile Tremblay Nuits-Saint-Georges Les (Aux) MurgersNuits-Saint-Georges vineyards are somewhat overlooked in favour of their more illustrious northern neighbours.

Burgundy can be quite complex, and while there are occasionally some logic and clever rules in certain appellations, in others there are exceptions and special ...
