Chambolle Musigny Cabottes 1er Cru?

WINE TALK
1

I tasted the Cecile Tremblay 2010 version of this wine at the London EP tastings last week and was intrigued as I had never heard of this 1er cru before. It’s not shown on the atlas vins maps of chambolle, there’s no cabottes listed on the burghound database and the only CM cabottes that comes up for any vintage at all on wine-searcher is the Tremblay 2009. Does anyone know anything about the vineyard?

A “Cabotte” is a stone hut in a vineyard. I wonder if there is some confusion and this is actually not the vineyard name but a cuvee name. Ponsot does this with alot of his wines. For example “Cuvée des Alouettes”.

I searched everywhere and this does not seem to be an official vineyard name.

Looking at labels on google image search it looks like a villages not a 1er cru.

Les Cabottes is a village wine. Domaine-ceciletremblay.com Her Chambolle Musigny Les Feusselottes is her only premier cru from CM.

The 2010 village CM was quite good. https://wineimport.discoursehosting.net/t/burgundy-day-3/45410/13

Not surprised you thought it was a premier cru. Great producer with a truly great set of 2010s.

According to Meadows, Cecil’s village chambolle comes from the from Les Echanges, Les Fremières and Les Maladières lieux-dits

According to Cecile’s web site, it comes from Cabottes.

The 09 versions listed on wine-searcher at various US merchants have it as a 1er cru, as do the cellar tracker entries.

Howard,

Just seen her website. She lists it as a villages from 3 “parcelles de vignes”. Mystery solved!

Thanks

I’m pretty sure there isnt a Cabottes lieu-dit in Chambolle. Looking at the link, it doesn’t state any lieux-dits it is sourced from, it simply has the “Cabottes” in the name. I think it is basically a cuvee name. Maybe I am wrong but that is what it looks like.

sent a quick email to peter weygandt to help answer the question and as mentioned above the fruit is sourced from three parcels in Chambolle, two of which adjoin premier cru sites - the name was selected by Cecile for this wine.

i also went into CT and requested an edit be made to the entry removing the 1er from name.

Dan,

Did you like the wine. From barrel last summer I thought it was quite good.

Howard,

I thought it was beautiful. Shame I can’t get hold of any!

Latuchie is correct. (Are you still on our payroll?) And I have a little bit left–edit (a little '09 left. Haven’t received our '10s yet). PM me if interested.
