Échezeaux Cécile Tremblay 2012 is a distinguished expression of Pinot Noir from a small parcel within the Échezeaux Grand Cru, in Vosne-Romanée. The 2012 vintage faced challenges such as low yields, contributing to a concentrated and structured profile. Tremblay employs biodynamic practices, with a significant portion of whole-cluster fermentation that enhances the wine’s aromatic presence. This vintage reveals a core of black cherry, plum and floral notes, underpinned by fine, firm tannins and a mineral spine.
