Au nez, le “Albuca” 2011 révèle un bouquet élégant de cerises rouges, fraises des bois et compote de framboises, entrelacé de subtils accents de pétales de violette, sous-bois et boîte à épices. Des notes secondaires de terre, broussailles et cuir délicat ajoutent de la complexité sans dominer le fruit primaire.
En bouche, le vin est moyennement à plein corps avec un noyau vibrant de fruits finement texturés, soutenu par des tanins fermes mais souples et un cadre minéral crayeux. L’équilibre entre fraîcheur et maturité crée une expérience en couches, avec des accents de fruit, d’épice et de saveurs savoureuses qui se déploient à travers une longue finale harmonieuse.
Un Pinot Noir magnifiquement équilibré et expressif d’un producteur distinctif de Nuits-Saint-Georges. Le Domaine Cécile Tremblay “Albuca” 2011 montre profondeur, élégance et une interaction harmonieuse de fruits, terre et épices qui le rend captivant à table ou pour un collectionneur cherchant un alignement vertical.

The 2011 Vintage
The 2011 vintage in Burgundy was marked by challenging weather, with a warm spring followed by a cool, wet summer and variable harvest conditions. Careful vineyard management and selective harvesting were essential to success. For meticulous producers like Cécile Tremblay, the vintage produced wines of elegance and finesse.
This 2011 Albuca showcases Cécile’s skill in crafting refined, terroir-driven wines even in difficult years. Lighter in body than the great vintages, but with exquisite aromatics, silky texture, and pronounced minerality. Now fully mature at 13 years, the wine offers beautiful drinking pleasure with delicate complexity and excellent balance.
Tasting Experience
- Visual: Medium ruby-garnet with good clarity and an evolved, brick-tinged rim
- Nose: Elegant aromatics of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petal interlaced with forest floor, truffle, and subtle spice. Notes of tea leaf, sandalwood, and earth add complexity. The wine’s purity and refinement are immediately apparent
- Palate: Silky, refined texture with delicate fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and integrated tannins. Flavors of red berries, earth, and mineral unfold with grace and precision. The terroir’s limestone character provides structure while Cécile’s minimal intervention allows transparent expression
- Finish: Medium-long finish with persistent minerality, subtle fruit echoes, and refined tannins. The wine’s elegance and purity shine through in the delicate, focused conclusion
Service & Food Pairing
Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F) in large Burgundy stems. Decant for 30-45 minutes to allow the delicate aromatics to fully express themselves. This lighter vintage can be overwhelmed by excessive aeration—gentle handling is key.
Exceptional pairings:
- Roasted quail with wild mushroom and thyme
- Duck breast with cherry compote
- Wild mushroom risotto with aged Parmesan
- Veal sweetbreads with morel cream sauce
- Soft, creamy cheeses like Brillat-Savarin or young Époisses
Cellaring & Evolution
Drinking beautifully now (2024-2028) at full maturity. The 2011’s delicate structure makes it best enjoyed in the near term, though Cécile’s precise winemaking ensures graceful aging. Store in a cool, dark cellar at 12-14°C with 70% humidity. Enjoy this wine over the next 3-5 years to appreciate its mature complexity.
Collector’s Note: Cécile Tremblay’s wines are among the most sought-after in modern Burgundy, with production so limited that any bottle is a treasure. This 2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges Albuca offers exceptional value at €420 for a fully mature wine from one of Burgundy’s hottest producers. An ideal introduction to Cécile’s magical winemaking style.
