Domaine Méo-Camuzet 2020

January 2022

We were unable to visit Méo-Camuzet in November 2021 and there are no immediate plans for a London tasting of the domaine’s wines, so I defer to Jasper Morris MW on the wines we are able to offer from this leading and consistently excellent Vosne-Romanée domaine.

Jean-Nicolas Méo was amongst those who started relatively early in 2020, on 23rd August. Ripeness, as measured by sugar levels, was slightly below 2019 with most wines falling in the 13 to 14% range, though a few were unexpectedly just under 13% and the Cortons were over 14%, which is fairly standard for this vintage, and they are very successful too, as are the great wines of Vosne-Romanée.

2020 Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet SOLD OUT

Fine glowing deep purple. Here there is both depth and class. This is a blend from Aux Communes, ripe fruit, and north facing Barreaux, now assembled and returned to barrel. This works really well together with the plummy ripe notes kept well in check. Very long finish. I think this could be exceptional.

2020 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru, Les Chaumes, Domaine Méo-Camuzet SOLD OUT

£375 per 3 bottle case in bond

Solid dark purple with a lighter rim. The nose is discreet but fine. The fruit expands considerably on the palate, on the cusp of red and black, somewhere between optimum and maximum ripeness but everything in harmony here.

2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Domaine Méo-Camuzet SOLD OUT

£750 per 3 bottle case in bond

Apart from 2017, Jean-Nicolas Méo only makes one commercially available cuvée of his substantial holding of Clos de Vougeot. Even purple throughout. This is a sturdy, weighty, richly dark fruited, multi-layered wine, with great potential for the long term. Ripe but not exaggerated.

As always with Burgundy releases, we are unable to sell leading Grand Cru and Premier Cru or wines from particularly sought-after domaines in isolation – we cannot buy them from the domaines that way ourselves and we are aware that demand is sure to outstrip supply. However, instead of running a complex system of allocations, we do aim to confirm requests as soon as we are able to do so or to highlight where we are unable to assist. To request a specific wine, please contact any member of the sales team on +44 (0) 20 3017 2299. You can also reach Simon Larkin MW, Richard O'Mahony, and James Ceppi di Lecco by email.
