Tres Girard is situated just below the 1er Cru of Clos des Sorbets and 100m from her winery. This cuvee comes from a 0.5-hectare plot planted with 40-45-year-old vines. The vines are planted on an east-facing slope to the west of the main road, where all the best village sites are found. About 1,500 bottles are produced every year.

After taking the reins of the family estate in 2002, Cecile Tremblay set out to completely re-craft the methods in the vineyard and winery, converting the entire estate to biodynamic viticulture. Fastidious in the vineyards and with gentle precision in the cellar, today Cecile's wines are among the most sought-after in all of France. She holds incredible plots in multiple Grand Crus and Premier Crus, but her Bourgognes are fantastic, often stellar lieux-dits vinified in the same fashion as the top wines.

Domaine Cecile Tremblay

Born into wine, Cecile is the descendent of the famed Jayer family - Henri's uncle was Cecile's great-grandfather - and the heir to her family's collection of vineyards. When she took over in 2002, Cecile found the soils and vines tired, weary from years of chemical fertilizers, weedkillers and all the methods that were once purported to craft the best wines. Cecile's first edict to herself was to convert the entire estate to biodynamic viticulture, following in the footsteps of famous vigneronnes such as Mmes. Leroy & Leflaive.

As her vines regained health, her small production caught the eye and palate of many a smart taster. She crafted her entire production out of what amounted to a garage for the first decade, and in 2013 was finally able to build her own winery, adjacent to her residence in Morey-Saint-Denis.

We've heard from many a former pupil of Cecile's that she is famously exacting, tasting berries again and again in the vineyards, waiting until the point of absolute perfection for her palate before harvesting a vineyard. The grapes are sorted in the vineyard, and again in the winery to ensure the finest fruit. From this point, nothing is dogmatic - a decision on retaining whole clusters will be made, and the grapes will be put into wooden vats after sorting. Occasionally, depending on the vintage, there could be gentle pump-overs or pigeage, as she feels is necessary. After fermentation completes, the berries will undergo a very light pressing, then combined with the free-run juice into barrels (crafted by top cooper Stéphane Chassin) where they will age 12-18 months; even the barrels are precisely chosen based on each vineyard and resulting cuvée, as the different forests can generate a unique flavor or feel.

Very rarely do you see such precision or attention to detail, while at the same time having such passion and feel imbued into the wines. This is a very special estate, and her wines reflect every ounce of effort.

The 2015 Morey Saint Denis les Très Girard suffered some grillure on the "younger vines" (45 years old), although Cécile did not know why particularly in this location. It contains around 30% whole bunch fruit and offers a well-defined blueberry and raspberry-scented bouquet, a touch of incense developing with aeration. The palate has good backbone and comes across as quite structured for a village cru, though that is what you expect from any self-respecting Morey-Saint-Denis. I appreciate the confit-tinged finish that just needs to develop a little more persistence on the aftertaste to match the excellent 2014 from last year.

Healthy dark red. Musky, slightly reduced aromas of red berries, spices and game. In a rather soft, sweet, rich style, with red fruit flavors complemented by mocha, milk chocolate and spices. This nicely broad village wine finishes with slightly dusty tannins and very good length, with just enough limestone lift. Should give early pleasure.
