The 2008 Morey St. Denis Tres Girard is a fresh, beautiful wine laced with high-toned aromatics, expressive, layered fruit and the linear style that is so typical in this vintage. This is an attractive, cool Burgundy that needs another few years for the aromas and flavors to become fully expressive, and for the tannins to melt away a touch. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
Cecile Tremblay is one of Burgundy’s emerging young growers. I was very impressed with all of the wines I tasted. Tremblay farms four hectares of vineyards across eleven appellations. She favors lengthy macerations (the 2009s spent 30 days on the skins) with no chaptalization or acidification. The percentage of whole clusters varies from wine to wine and can reach 100% at the grand cru level. The wines stay on the lees with no racking until they are prepared for bottling. New oak ranges from 20% for the village wines to 70% for the Grand Crus. These are striking wines, but there is every reason to believe the best is yet to come from this small, high-quality domaine.
