The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Located in Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet is one of the jewels of the Côte-de-Nuits, boasting an impressive collection of crus whose names are the stuff of dreams: Richebourg, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Clos de Vougeot, Corton, Echezeaux, Chambolle-Musigny...
Trained by Henri Jayer, Jean-Nicolas Méo has been at the helm of this benchmark address since 1989, whose qualities are widely recognized and whose every bottle is snapped up by collectors. The wines are pure marvels, great perfumed Burgundies, polished by luxurious ageing, with admirable body and depth of texture, and capable of gaining in depth with age.
These serious, meticulously-crafted wines are now at their very best, and should be grabbed at once!
Wine Managed by the estate since 2003, the 2016 red Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières comes from a plot farmed and vinified by the House teams. Fresh and elegant, this frost-affected vintage already offers fine definition of Pinot, in a supple, infused profile of great finesse. It can already be enjoyed with poultry, for example, or cellared.
Vinification Hand harvested. Plot managed and vinified by the estate's own teams. Low intervention winemaking. Aged in Tronçais wood barrels, most of which are new.
