Meo Camuzet!
Méo-Camuzet is one of the most celebrated domaines of the Côte d’Or, located in the heart of prestigious Vosne-Romanée. The domaine boasts some of the most spectacular appellations and crus of Burgundy. By 1985, in lieu of continuing to rent out their highly-pedigreed vineyards, the winery made the bold decision to slowly start reclaiming the land for their own bottlings. As Henri Jayer had spent over forty years farming parcels from Méo-Camuzet under his own label, the domaine called upon him for guidance. For three years, he mentored Jean-Nicolas Meo during the transition and the rest is history!
Jean-Nicholas Méo calls 2012 a “very elegant vintage where good vineyard work was indispensable. The growing season was a bit like that of 2010 but in the end it has more acidity and the wines are more tightly knit.”

2012 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Corton Perrieres Grand Cru $275 bottle
94 Antonio Galloni “The 2012 Corton Perrieres pulses with pure energy and brilliance. Dark red stone fruits, crushed rocks, spices and wild flowers are some of the many notes that meld together in the glass. Though medium in body, the 2012 finishes with substantial understated power and intensity. I wouldn’t expect the 2012 to drink at its finest anytime soon.” Drink 2022-2042
2012 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Echezeaux Les Rouges du Bas Grand Cru $375 bottle
96 Antonio Galloni “A wine of extraordinary beauty and finesse, the 2012 Echezeaux is simply stunning. Black fruit, iron, cloves, new leather and licorice all burst from the glass. There is plenty of underlying structure, but the fruit is so deep and intense the overall impression is one of seamlessness. Asian spices, tar and star anise add compelling dimensions of exoticism on the close. In 2012, the Echezeaux is cool, sophisticated and full of promise. Readers who can find the 2012 should not hesitate, it is stunning.” Drink 2024-2042
