This is a very special wine from Giroud. After bottling the other reds from the domaine, they assemble the racked lees from all the wines, give it time to settle as best as possible, and then bottle the blend.

Domaine Meo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot 2004
The Meo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot 2004 will turn into a fine wine, it's focused as most 2004 wines, and starting to show a little sweetness on the palate. It still need some time, before it will show all it's potential, but is a pleasure with food now. I would think a similar wine from a cold cellar …
