Cecile Tremblay, Echezeaux 2012

The Echezeaux 2012 from Cecile Tremblay is a gorgeous effort … her wines seems to get more focused and refined each year. The nose is crammed with asian spices, raspberries, red currant and elderberries … supported by a deep earthy minerality. On the palate rich and forward fruit … juicy with a lovely energy and intensity. The fruit is weighty and vibrant – offering a lovely transparent view to the fine terroir. Very impressive … but first and foremost juicy and delightful. Really like the style

(Drink From 2022) – Very Fine (93 – 94p) – Tasted 18/03/2014 – cask sample

Cecile Tremblay has a lovely plot in the centre of the vineyard with old vines, and it is worth a study. Indeed! Cécile Tremblay, July 2020 Frankly, I ...
