The Wine: Domaine Méo-Camuzet is one of Burgundy’s most famed estates. Up until 1988, most of the holdings were leased out, however now Jean-Nicolas Méo and Christian Faurois are making some of Cote d’Or’s best wine. Farming organically throughout their esteemed plots; they boast four Grand Cru and ten Premier Cru sites across Nuits St George and Vosne-Romanée.
There is much finesse and elegance in this wine, very typical of the Vosne-Romanée appellation. Fullness and charm coexist here.
The Review: Decanter - 94pts "The Vosne Les Chaumes from Méo opens a bit slowly, but eventually it shows a lovely, expressive blackberry fruit with mineral and floral notes. The texture is substantial—firm and tannic with fresh acidity and a lengthy finish. The grapes come from two parcels that total just over two hectares, located just below Malconsorts. The vines are very mature and produce small clusters of concentrated, tannic fruit that Méo is not afraid to punch down and age with 50% new casks in order to deliver this muscular, dense wine."
