2000 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
($103) Good deep, fresh red. Sappy black raspberry, violet, meat, spices, leather and nutty oak on the aromatic, nuanced nose. Juicy, intensely flavored and sappy in the mouth, with excellent verve for the year. Really spreads out on the back end, finishing with noteworthy sweetness and breadth.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2003Rating: 90
Fuller and richer still with a touch more spice and depth but otherwise quite similar to the Murgers. Extremely ripe, almost black and this too is very generous and forward with its charms. Seductive if not exactly classic.Issue: 1st Quarter, 2002

Retail bottle. Opened 3 hours, no decant. Beautiful color, gaining depth with air. Wonderfully evolved, smoky leather and earth on a ripe, pungent entry. 40 second finish, mouth watering. Great tension. In a great spot now.Drink Dates: 2010-2020Author: Miguel L
Politics has always played a significant role in the history of French wine, for better or worse, and that is especially true for Domaine Meo-Camuzet. Parliamentarian Etienne Camuzet began buying up prime blocks in Burgundy's most prized vineyards in the early 1900s, and from this land winemaker Jean-Nicolas Meo continues the domaine's tradition of producing acclaimed wines. The family's holdings read like a "who's who" of the Cote d'Or; they have plots in Richeboug, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet, and Echezeauz, in addition to a longer list of Premier Cru and Village-level sites. Balance is the key for Meo, both in the vineyard and the cellar. With Henri Jayer consulting on winemaking, Jean-Nicolas creates domaine wines of excellence that reflect a true "sense of place." Meo-Camuzet also has a wine merchant arm, bearing the title Meo-Camuzet Frere & Soeurs, which sources fruit from Fixin, Marsannay, Chambolle, and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
