Vinous Tasting Note

(alcohol close to 14%): Bright ruby-red. Very pure aromas of black raspberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and pungent crushed-stone minerality. Boasts alluring sweetness and sexy inner-mouth perfume, with its intense dark fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by brisk acidity. Not quite as salty as the Brûlées but still boasts terrific inner-mouth tension and energy. Still a bit youthfully tight--and less charming than the Brûlées--but not at all hard. The tannins reach the front teeth. Méo harvested this fruit later than the Brûlées, and this wine will need more bottle aging for its structure to soften. A great premier cru in the making.

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.
