2009 Cecile Tremblay Chapelle-Chambertin 750ml

RP95 VM94

I vividly remember my first encounter with Cécile Tremblay's glorious 2009 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, shortly after its release, and today the wine is no less dramatic, soaring from the glass with a blaze of red-black cherry, plums, wood smoke, espresso roast and grilled meat. On the palate, the wine is broad and texturally expansive, with a deep and multidimensional mid-palate, velvety tannins and a long, controlled finish. This is the most lavish Chapelle-Chambertin of Cécile Tremblay's career before the 2015 vintage, and in the wine's generosity and volume, one really feels the vineyard's proximity to the Clos de Bèze this year.
