Domaine Méo-Camuzet - Chambolle-Musigny 2021

This wine is characterized by its power and structure. Its intensity, ripeness and acidity are high, a rare and interesting combination. Logically, you should wait at least three or four years after bottling before tasting it, as it can be tight at first. The ageing potential is excellent, so don't hesitate if you want to keep a few bottles for the little one's 20th birthday!

This is a wine that tolerates new barrels well, giving it openness and roundness, and evolves slowly. The vinification is not very interventionist, and the natural concentration is high. Fermentations also tend to be long, favoring natural extraction. This cuvée is made from two parcels, one very old and the other middle-aged. The first is located at the foot of the village of Chambolle to the east: "les Athets" are in deep but well-drained soil; a little above, towards Morey, "les Drazey" are in a typical village position, at the foot of the hillside, in semi-deep soil. The grapes are small and concentrated. The balance between sugars and acids is excellent.

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.
