The 2022 Cécile Tremblay Bourgogne La Fontaine (Rouge) comes from a charming vintage for red Burgundies, offering pleasing ripeness for early to mid-term enjoyment. Cécile Tremblay, grand-niece of the legendary Henri Jayer, is a highly acclaimed winemaker known for her unique style, beautiful purity, and vibrant fruit. Her domaine, established in 2003, has earned the prestigious "three grapes" from the Michelin Guide, a rare honour for a relatively young estate. She practices biodynamic and organic farming, with meticulous hand-harvesting and a non-interventionist approach. This regional Bourgogne Rouge is crafted from Pinot Noir grapes, primarily sourced from the Comblanchien village and parcels in the Vosne-Romanée sector. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged in French oak barrels with a modest percentage of new wood, bottled without fining or filtration. Tasting notes for the 2022 vintage suggest a wine with red cherry, wild berry, and vine smoke notes, offering fuller flesh and soft, melting tannins. Early reviews indicate a palate with defined sour cherry fruit, an earthy base, herbal notes, and a juicy, clean finish. While enjoyable now, some tasters suggest it will benefit from another 2-3 years of aging to fully integrate and develop. 【This is an accessible yet highly sought-after regional Burgundy from the Michelin-starred Cécile Tremblay, showcasing her signature purity and elegant expression of Pinot Noir.】 🍴 This versatile red Burgundy pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, including beef, veal, poultry, and game such as venison. It is also an excellent match for chicken and turkey dishes. 🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated weeknight dinner, a casual gathering with friends who appreciate fine Pinot Noir, or as an introduction to the exceptional wines of Cécile Tremblay. Its youthful energy makes it enjoyable now with decanting, or it can be cellared for a few years to reveal greater complexity.
