Detailed Description

Medium-deep red-ruby. Perfumed aromas of black cherry and flowers. Fine-grained and vibrant in the mouth, with nicely delineated flavors of black fruits, licorice and orange peel. Rich but dry and classic, with lovely balancing acidity and a very long finish. This is between 13.5% and 14% alcohol but conveys an almost delicate impression.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Concentrated black cherry and black currant aromas and flavors mark this rich, full-bodied Pinot, whose purity of fruit is matched by a phalanx of ripe, integrated tannins. The flavor intensity is almost kirschlike. Fine length, but needs time to resolve its tannins.

• Burghound: A discreet background touch of wood frames an earthy, slightly gamy nose that leads to ripe, rich, full-bodied and moderately dense flavors that display the classic young Clos de Vougeot quality of an austere backward finish. I like the tannins here as they’re finer than usual and this finishes with real freshness and verve. The best Méo Clos de Vougeot since the spectacular ’85 and every bit as good as the ’05 if distinctly different in character. Note that I have experienced some bottle variation with this wine with one recent bottle displaying some VA and another marred by a touch of brett.

Producer Information

Domaine Méo-Camuzet is a wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. It produces some of the most celebrated wines from the Côte d’Or from a range of grand cru vineyards, including Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton and Echézeaux. Most of Méo-Camuzet’s wines are made from Pinot Noir, and are known for their delicate aromatic concentration.The founder of the estate was Etienne Camuzet, an early-20th Century politician based in Paris, who offered parts of his estate to a variety of sharecroppers to farm. Eventually, it came into the hands of Jean-Nicholas Méo in 1986, who realized that the extensive sharecropping meant that only a small portion of vines were under the domaine’s control. He set out a long-term strategy to regain the plots from the sharecroppers who were currently working them, with the goal of eventually having estate-grown fruit and bottling under his own label, Méo-Camuzet.
