Cécile Tremblay descends from a long line of vigneron. Related to the Noëllats, Confurons and of course the Jayers of Vosne.
The story begins in 1921, with the union of Cécile’s great-grandparents, Edouard Jayer, a cooper in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Esther Fournier who inherited vineyards from her family. Together, they established and developed their own Domaine. The vineyards holdings were eventually passed down to their five children. Renée, the youngest daughter kept her share of the vineyards under métayage. Renée’s only daughter, Marie-Annick grew the family’s holdings with her husband while keeping all vineyards under métayage.
Cécile Tremblay, who studied oenology and viticulture in Dijon, reclaimed the family’s heritage and took over the management of the vineyards in 2002. A year later, Cécile bottled her first wines – Domaine Cécile Tremblay was born.
