2019 | Meo Camuzet | Chambolle Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er cru

A brooding, ripe and restrained nose features notes of plum, violet, dark currant and spice nuances only grudgingly reveals itself. The super-sleek, intense and delicious middle weight flavors possess a lovely texture thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the stony, sneaky long and balanced finale.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes (Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs) mingles notes of raspberries, cassis and plums with hints of rose petals and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's rich and enveloping, with a charming, generous profile. As I wrote last year, Méo not only purchases the grapes from this parcel but also farms the vineyard.

• Decanter: Produced from grapes purchased from a parcel of mature vines, the fruit is destemmed and gently fermented prior to ageing in cask. The finished wine has a svelte and elegant palate, a lovely, sweet red fruit character and an intriguing hint of dark chocolate on the finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Méo-Camuzet is a wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. It produces some of the most celebrated wines from the Côte d'Or from a range of grand cru vineyards, including Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton and Echézeaux. Most of Méo-Camuzet's wines are made from Pinot Noir, and are known for their delicate aromatic concentration. The founder of the estate was Etienne Camuzet, an early-20th Century politician based in Paris, who offered parts of his estate to a variety of sharecroppers to farm. Eventually, it came into the hands of Jean-Nicholas Méo in 1986, who realized that the extensive sharecropping meant that only a small portion of vines were under the domaine's control. He set out a long-term strategy to regain the plots from the sharecroppers who were currently working them, with the goal of eventually having estate-grown fruit and bottling under his own label, Méo-Camuzet. One of these landholders was iconic Burgundy producer Henri Jayer. He had farmed the domaine's land to bottle under his own label for about 40 years. He retired in 1988 and helped to advise Jean-Nicholas on the reacquisition of his vines. Méo-Camuzet now has 14 hectares (35 acres) of vines, including a part of the Cros Parantoux Premier Cru site, which was made famous by Jayer.
