2011 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / VOUGEOT
Wine Spectator | Rating: 93
A rich, supple red, with vibrant underlying acidity that propels the cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. This is balanced, with sandalwood, olive and licorice accents gracing the long finish. Needs time to absorb the oak.Author: Bruce SandersonInternational Wine Cellar | Rating: 92
Medium red. Red cherry and menthol aromas are lifted by spices and flowers. Juicy and intensely flavored, with bright acidity for this grand cru. Lively and firmly built, and even longer than the Boudots. All of the 2011s I tasted chez Meo-Camuzet in November were domain bottlings.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2014
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.
