Vinous Tasting Note

Bright, dark red-ruby. Heady aromas of black fruits, tart cherry stomp, licorice and violet. Wonderfully plush and fine-grained but medicinal and backward, with its flavors of black fruits, flowers and spices accented by pungent minerality. Very densely packed but even more imploded than the Cros Parantoux and more difficult to taste today. A wine with outstanding intensity and focus, as well as the medicinal reserve for a long evolution in the cellar. Firm tannins are perfectly buffered by strong material.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine Méo-Camuzet, a shining star of Vosne-Romanée, illuminates the Côte de Nuits. Its history is linked to Étienne Camuzet, a politician from the Côte-d'Or, whose legacy endures thanks to Jean-Nicolas Méo. The latter instills a style that is both modern and respectful of Burgundian traditions, placing the estate among the most sought-after. Méo-Camuzet wines are distinguished by their depth and their ability to reflect the expression of the terroir, offering a vibrant interpretation of the nuances of Burgundy. Among the iconic cuvées are prestigious Grand Crus such as Clos de Vougeot and Richebourg, symbols of power and elegance. The Premier Crus Les Chaumes, Aux Brûlées, Au Cros Parantoux, and Aux Boudots also illustrate the estate's expertise. Also noteworthy is the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Clos Saint-Philibert, a more accessible but no less seductive expression of this great estate. Legend has it that Étienne Camuzet once sold his wine to Parisian clientele directly at the National Assembly. Among the most closely followed cuvées are Méo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet Richebourg Grand Cru, and Méo-Camuzet Les Chaumes, useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
