Good medium red. Sweet, ripe, oaky aromas of raspberry and caramel. Concentrated, broad and ripe but also impressively sappy for such a fleshy wine. Shows a smoky minerality as it opens in the glass. This rich yet gripping wine leaves the taste buds vibrating. Tremblay made just one barrel of this juice, vs. 2-1/2 in 2009 and 1-1/2 in 2010.In Bond£9,075.00 -

(from south-facing vines on shallow soil, planted in 1928; 70% vendange entier Good ruby-red. Superripe, soil-driven nose dominated by smoky, flinty minerality. Creamy-rich and very ripe but not overly sweet on the palate. A big, strong, somewhat warmer style of wine, quite different in style from the last few samples, and not yet showing the aromatic complexity of the Rouges du Dessus. Tremblay uses Tron c ais oak here, which contributes a vanilla quality. Finishes classically dry and long, with mouthdusting tannins.In Bond£13,101.03 -

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has a vivid bouquet of raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with wilted rose petals and orange pith; good lift here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, good acidity and a lightly spiced and very elegant finish. There is an understated quality about this Vosne-Romanée that is very appealing; a cool customer, you might say. Very impressive wine from Cécile Tremblay.In Bond£1,056.00 -

The 2009 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges du Dessus reveals a powerful, dark personality. There is marvelous tension between the explosive dark fruit and the wine's considerable underlying structure. This intense Vosne needs a few years to settle down, but it is magnificent even today.In Bond£653.00 -

The 2012 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouge du Dessus is arguably the hidden jewel in Cecile Tremblay's lineup. Layers of deeply spiced dark fruit jump from the glass in a wine of extraordinary purity. The brush strokes are broad in a wine with massive tannins and equally rich fruit. All the 2012 needs is time. Today it is embryonic, but dazzling all the same. The 2012 was vinified with 70% whole clusters.In Bond£3,698.00 -
Vinous (91-93)
Bright red-ruby. Very pure, perfumed aromas and flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, minerals, violet and cocoa powder. Sappy and tightly wound, conveying a powerful impression of vinosity thanks to its pungent minerality. The pH here of 3. 45 is the lowest in the cellar in 2014. Indeed, this wine shows a distinctly cool quality in the context of the vintage, and finishes with excellent chewy length. Tremblay told me that the 2008 version of this wine was paired by a chef with a tuna dish during a trip to Tokyo and that the combination was perfect.In Bond£3,974.00 -

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges du Dessus 1er Cru has a clean and fresh bouquet with perfumed Morello and strawberry shortcake aromas, all well defined. Exuberant is the word that comes to mind. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that frame a sweet, confit-like core of red fruit with hints of marmalade and blood orange towards the seductive finish. Very fine, but a Vosne-Romanée I might broach in the more immediate term. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.In Bond£751.00 -

Vinous (89)
(50% vendange entier; bottled in June of 2011, the last '09 to be bottled because this cuvee, says Tremblay, always needs longer elevage to integrate its tannins): Good bright medium red. Serious but discreet nose hints at dark raspberry, licorice and minerals. Concentrated, spicy and minerally but in a rather restrained stage today. Very rich and deep for village wine but will need some time in bottle to absorb some of its substantial ripe, dusty tannins and gain in definition.In Bond£5,610.00 -

Good bright red-ruby. Good lift to the aroma of black fruits and violet. Dense, juicy and savory, with a distinctly dark cast to the nicely concentrated flavors of black fruits and violet. Solidly structured, chewy wine with a long, saline aftertaste. Tremblay noted that Vosne-Romanee had considerably less rain in early September than did Chambolle.In Bond£728.87 -

Good dark red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, violet and minerals, complicated by a hint of bitter chocolate. Juicy and tightly wound; not a sweet or generous style but reveals lovely salinity and subtle dark fruit intensity with aeration. This youthfully reserved village wine is solidly structured but not hard, finishing with firm but even tannins. Ultimately a bit more generous than the Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard, with the tannins more enrobed by fruit and mineral extract. Tremblay won't do her first racking until she assembles the wines next April in preparation for bottling in July. I take my time, she told me.In Bond£672.16 -

As is generally the case, Trembaly's 2018 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is the most reserved and introverted wine in the cellar, and it always seems to take longer to show all its cards during élevage.
