2019 | Meo Camuzet | Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru

The palate is well balanced with a slightly lactic, licorice-tinged entry. There is firm structure, good grip and a countervailing sorbet-like zip on the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Another real success is the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots, a lovely wine bursting with notes of plums, wild berries, exotic spices, peonies and blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's elegantly fleshy, with lively acids, melting tannins and a penetrating finish.

• Decanter: Méo owns over 1ha of vines in Les Boudots, just over the border from Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts, in the village of Nuits-St-Georges. This combines the elegance of Vosne and the structure of Nuits to give a wine with rich, plummy fruit, an earthy undertone, and an opulent structure on the palate that combines density with well-managed tannins. The balance is strikingly good between the velvety texture, rich fruit and firm structure; it shows well now, but will improve considerably with age.

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.
