94 / 100"Once again there is first-rate complexity to the cool and well-layered array of soft floral-inflect aromas of red berries, earth and a discreet whiff of tea. I very much like the sense of underlying tension on the supple and relatively refined middle weight flavors thanks to the fine-grained tannins that shape the balanced and harmonious finish. This sleek beauty should amply reward mid-term cellaring."

"Good medium red. Tight, pure aromas of dark raspberry, black cherry, licorice and minerals. Rather compact in the early going, showing little easy sweetness to the flavors of dark fruits, licorice, crushed rock and wild herbs accented by black pepper. Méo told me that this wine was previously more approachable than the Boudots but today it's in a shell. Will extended bottle aging bring more sweetness?"

"Impressive for the fruit purity, this red exudes black currant, cherry, raspberry and floral aromas and flavors. Well-balanced and firm, with a chalky sensation on the lingering finish. Shows fine potential. Best from 2022 through 2043"

Tasting Notes
Jean-Nicolas Méo owns vines in the lieux-dits of Grand Mapertuis and Près du Cellier (two very good ones). His Vougeot is marked by richness, concentration, velvety structure, broad aromatics, length, and power. It is a complete wine, and one that merits at least eight years of bottle age before it is enjoyed.
One of Burgundy's great estates, Vosne-Romanee based Domaine Meo Camuzet is intrinsically linked to one of the great winemakers of the region, Henri Jayer who consulted to the winery for many years. Currently run by Jean-Nicolas Meo the estates vineyards are farmed organically and include spectacular holdings such as Richebourg, Échezeaux, Clos de Vougeot and the famous Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru, Cros Parantoux, the legendary vineyard made famous by Henri Jayer. Treading the fine edge of power, purity and concentration while retaining a sense of fineness and grace the wines of Meo Camuzet have a stellar track-record for aging and are a much sought by wine collectors
