Méo-Camuzet is one of the undisputed star estates of Burgundy. Until 1988 most of the domaine's holdings were leased out to other vignerons and amazingly most of the wine was sold off to négociants in bulk. Today, it is a very different story. Méo Camuzet now has over 2.5 hectares of grands Crus and 8 hectares of some of the finest Premier Cru vineyards of Nuits-St-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. Most of the vineyards are farmed organically, but not every aspect of all vineyards: one or two which are difficult for tractor access may still see an occasional herbicide or anti-rot treatment. Jean-Nicolas Méo and Christian Faurois now run the Domaine and together they produce some of the very best wine in the Côte d'Or. Meo Camuzet produces full-bodied, firm, rich, oaky, concentrated wines, which no serious Burgundy drinker should overlook.

13% abv
“A more reserved but every-bit-as-spicy nose grudgingly reveals its array of clove, crushed anise, soy, poached plum, black cherry liqueur and discreet wood influence. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is equally gorgeous and even more mineral-driven while concluding in a powerful and beautifully persistent finish that is slightly more refined. This is a big wine that is a bit less austere than usual though it’s clearly expressly built-to-age so if you’re lucky enough to find a few bottles, they’re also going to need extended keeping.” 93-96 points, Burghound, Jan 2025
“The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru—which was picked early in the morning on September 9, the same day as the Richebourg—is a little reticent on the nose at first and more tertiary than the 2022 was last year. Perhaps it has yet to find its voice. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and an unerring sense of symmetry, though it does not possess the intensity or ineffable complexity of Cros Parantoux’s very best vintages. As such, I suspect it will be a little earlier drinking.” 93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous, November 2024
