Domaine Méo-Camuzet - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021
Clos de Vougeot is one of the jewels of the Burgundy vineyard, classified among the great growths of the Côte de Nuits. The legendary Méo-Camuzet estate produces this cuvée from the best part of the vineyard, the upper part: it benefits from excellent drainage, and the grapes reach an optimal maturity there. The result is a wine of exceptional elegance, both powerful and subtle, that lives up to its reputation and has great ageing potential.
Review for the 2019 : 93-95+/100p The Wine Advocate: "Méo's 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is shaping up brilliantly, mingling notes of orange peel, cassis and plums with notions of rose petals, sweet soil tones and exotic spices. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's velvety and concentrated, with real mid-palate amplitude and an elegantly muscular profile. Perfumed and penetrating, this cuvée—from an optimally situated parcel below the château—is a fine long-haul proposition."
For more than four centuries the Méo family has been dedicated to growing vines and making wine. In 1981, Domaine Camuzet became Méo-Camuzet and the first wines bottled under this name are those of the 1983 vintage.
In 1984, Jean Méo proposed to his son Jean-Nicolas to take over the reins of the Domaine. At just 20 years old, he was not prepared to become a winemaker. But after 8 days of reflection, he took on the challenge. He finished his studies (not without a detour to the University of Burgundy to study oenology), took a trip to the USA and returned to live in Vosne-Romanée in 1989. He immersed himself in the domaine, the vines, and the winemaking process with his father as a mentor, of course, but also with Henri Jayer who, having retired, nevertheless agreed to share his technical know-how and his art of winemaking. Christian Faurois, son and nephew of other historical tenant farmers of the domaine, taught him everything he needed to know about the vineyard and transmitted to him his passion for the land.
Since 2008, Jean-Nicolas has been cultivating the 17 hectares of vines planted on the estate. Today, the Méo-Camuzet estate is one of the most renowned in Burgundy - mostly red wines, with a significant proportion of white wines: nearly 4 hectares of Chardonnay. Jean-Nicolas and his team continue to work on the nose and th
