Méo-Camuzet is one of the most celebrated domaines of the Côte d’Or, located in the heart of prestigious Vosne-Romanée. The domaine boasts fourteen hectares of land in some of the most spectacular appellations and crus of Burgundy. The vineyard land in Burgundy is highly parceled out among families, which makes it rare for anyone to have enough vines to be able to bottle one grand cru, let alone the six that the Méos have.
Domaine Méo-Camuzet bottles six astounding grands crus (Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Échezeaux, Corton Clos Rognet, Corton Les Perrières, and Corton La Vigne au Saint), ten premier crus (from the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, and Fixin), several village wines, one Bourgogne Rouge, and only three whites. Jean-Nicolas aims for balance and purity of fruit, which he accomplishes with terrific success. Though delicate and fine, even in their youth, the paradoxical concentration and intensity of these wines make them ideal for long cellar aging. These rare, stunning achievements are a Burgundy lover’s dream.

Fresh purple with some intensity. A little bit of wood on the nose, and a fruit which suggests that it needs more elevage. Quite strict despite the mix of pure red and tending to black fruit. Medium plus intensity, severe at the moment, I have no problem with that, especially as there is clearly potential. Drink from 2031-2039.

The Chaumes from Méo is very consistent; the 2022, however, is particularly good. The black plum and cherry fruit is more forward and pronounced than it has seemed in recent years, and the palate has impressive depth and density of extract. The tannins are firm but not astringent, and the finish lingers on the palate. Méo’s holdings here are extensive – two parcels total over two hectares, lying just below Malconsorts. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with fairly firm extraction before ageing in cask (half new).
