Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Vosne-Romanee, Burgundy
At the beginning of the 20th century, Etienne Camuzet sought out impeccable parcels of land for his fledgling wine business. Etienne’s daughter Maria Noirot bequeathed the estate to a distant relative Jean Meo who continued in his job in Paris and let out some of the vineyards to support the winery. These days, his son Jean-Nicolas Meo runs the business and some of the vineyards are still leased, with the majority now being used for the Domaine’s own incredible wines.
The godfather of modern red winemaking, Henri Jayer was a consultant to the property, which set it out on a great footing. Today the wines are as fine as any on the Cote and with extraordinary holdings including my favourites – Grand Crus Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet, Premier Crus Vosne-Romanee Au Brûlées, Vosne-Romanee Au Cros Parantoux, Vosne-Romanee Les Chaumes, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Murgers, and two amazing Village level wines – Nuits–Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanee, this estate is flying very high indeed. They have also added a negociant arm under the Meo-Camuzet Frere & Soeurs label.
