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.

“More wood influence is evident on the spicy aromas of mostly ripe black pinot fruit and exotic tea-suffused nose. The supple and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors are not dense but I like the beguiling texture that carries over to the lingering finish that firms up significantly.” 90-93 points, Burghound, Jan 2025
“The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru comes from two hectares split over two parcels (one called “Jean Tardy” after its former métayer). This has an exuberant bouquet of vivacious dark cherries, raspberry coulis and crushed stone scents, with wonderful delineation throughout. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, lightly spiced black fruit and hints of marmalade. This is quite persistent and spicy on the finish with a little aftertaste of clove. Perhaps it lacks the grace and sophistication of the best cuvées, but it will yield 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure. (NB: Apparently, this was not tasting well on the day of my visit, hence the plus sign).” 90-92+ points, Neal Martin, Vinous, Nov 2024
