Domaine Méo-Camuzet has a special aura, and a special place in my Burgundy history as both a link to the old master Henri Jayer and a connection to the core of Vosne-Romanee history. I have followed the Méo-Camuzet wines for many years, and … [Read more...] about Visit to Domaine Meo-Camuzet – tasting the 2018s

Domaine Méo-Camuzet … tasting a few 2016s
I had the pleasure of tasting a few of the Méo-Camuzet 2016s during the Grand Jours de Bourgogne. Jean-Nicolas Méo was as usual showing a range of his wines at the big Grands Jours de Bourgogne tasting at Clos de Vougeot. A rather intense … [Read more...] about Domaine Méo-Camuzet … tasting a few 2016s
Dégustation Prestige – Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
This year Grand Jours de Bourgogne included a Dégustation Prestige of Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru ... as it did two years ago. It's a tasting of around 20 wines from the Clos de Vougeot vineyard - this year with the oldest being a 1989 from Domaine … [Read more...] about Dégustation Prestige – Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 2010
The 2010 Boudots from Meo is a surprisingly airy and energetic wine - an excellent example of the more light and forward style employed since the 2007. Extraction is moderate - fruit is effortless and vibrant. The nose is floral and expressive with … [Read more...] about Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 2010

It comes from the terroir - Rouges du Bas - located in the top part of Echezeaux - hence a relatively light and mineral driven Echezeux. The nose offer plenty of cool … [Read more...] about Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Echezeaux 2013
Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Clos de Vougeot 2008
I have tasted the Meo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot 2008 several times and currently it seems in a transitory stage ... some from very cool cellars are quite backward and less exiting, wheres others are showing more energy and verve. This example - froma … [Read more...] about Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Clos de Vougeot 2008
Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Vosne-Romanee Aux Brulee 2002
The 2002 Vosne Aux Brulee is a somewhat disappointing effort - sadly - or somehow flawed. The nose offer fine complexity with nice layered fruit, violets and peony rose but also a strange chocolate note - reminding me of the chocolate drink O'Boy. On … [Read more...] about Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Vosne-Romanee Aux Brulee 2002
Twilight Zone – Nuits-Saint-Georges Au Bas de Combe
There are a lot of interesting terroirs in the Vosne-Romanee appellation itself and in the twilight zone between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanee. This area is somewhat overlooked, but as the new generations of vignerons take on these terroirs, … [Read more...] about Twilight Zone – Nuits-Saint-Georges Au Bas de Combe
