2003 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 89
($260) Good deep red. Roasted, almost tarry aromas of liqueur-like red fruits and licorice; reminded me of a Bonneau wine. Sweet, large-scaled and gamey, showing the extreme side of the vintage. Finishes with huge, palate-coating tannins. This may go on for many years in bottle but it will always be in a distinctly Chateauneuf du Pape style.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2006Rating: 91
Very ripe, even exceptionally ripe but not roasted or stewed with notes of tobacco, coffee and hints of prune that lead to intensely plumy flavors that coat the palate in sappy extract. This is a big and powerful wine of obvious weight and brawn though it is not among the more elegant wines in the range.Issue: 1st Quarter, 2005
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.
