"As I noted last year, Cecile Trémblay’s les Cabottes bottling of Chambolle villages is made from three small parcels of vines in the lieux à dits of les Fremières, aux Exchanges and les Maladières. The first two lie up slope, just below the premier crus on the north side of the village (with half of aux Exchanges actually ranked as premier cru), but les Maladières lies at the base of the slope and abuts the Route Nationale. Cecile notes that she uses the vines on the lower part of her parcel in les Maladières for her Bourgogne, and only the top half of that particular parcel go into the Chambolle AC. The 2013 was one of the more closed wines at the time of my visit, and the slightly reduced nose reluctantly offered up scents of plums, blood orange, cocoa, fresh herb tones, a nice touch of soil and a stylish framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is fullish, long and well-balanced, with a good core, ripe tannins and a long, tangy and focused finish. I suspect that this will be every bit as fine as the Morey “Trés Girard” in the fullness of time . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
