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. Most of the vineyards are farmed as organically as possible, but Méo-Camuzet has chosen not to be certified, in order to be able to treat vines as the vintage dictates. Along with the grand cru wines, there are several wines made from premier cru vineyards along the Côte de Nuits, as well as a number of more generic village-level and Bourgogne wines.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-10T10:59:32-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-26T19:06:23-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK2602","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Domaine Méo-Camuzet","Region_Burgundy","Source_Bestofwines0223","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Pinot Noir"],"price":94999,"price_min":94999,"price_max":94999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42805938585738,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Domaine Méo-Camuzet | Clos de Vougeot in OC","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":94999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/59_df9b2af2-1892-40a8-9730-9285b1a6c6a1.jpg?v=1677456456","\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bouteille-fiche-clos-de-vougeot.png?v=1677456574"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/59_df9b2af2-1892-40a8-9730-9285b1a6c6a1.jpg?v=1677456456","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Domaine Méo-Camuzet | Clos de Vougeot in OC at CaskCartel.com","id":24294221349002,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.463,"height":1453,"width":673,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/59_df9b2af2-1892-40a8-9730-9285b1a6c6a1.jpg?v=1677456456"},"aspect_ratio":0.463,"height":1453,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/59_df9b2af2-1892-40a8-9730-9285b1a6c6a1.jpg?v=1677456456","width":673},{"alt":"2020 | Domaine Méo-Camuzet | Clos de Vougeot in OC at CaskCartel.com","id":24294225870986,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.275,"height":600,"width":165,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bouteille-fiche-clos-de-vougeot.png?v=1677456574"},"aspect_ratio":0.275,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bouteille-fiche-clos-de-vougeot.png?v=1677456574","width":165}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Domaine Méo-Camuzet | Clos de Vougeot in OC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscreet but still perceptible wood-suffuses the ripe aromas of black cherry, currant, newly turned earth and a floral top note.
