A very spicy, fresh and overtly sexy nose speaks of ripe black berry fruit and cassis aromas that introduce rich, sappy and imposingly voluminous flavors that possess excellent intensity and impeccable balance on the long and palate staining finish. From one vintage to the next, this always seems to be either more Nuits or more Vosne but in 2009, this is definitely more Vosne in character.

Méo-Camuzet is one of the most celebrated domaines of the Côte d’Or, located in the heart of prestigious Vosne-Romanée. The early beginnings of the domaine left it in the hands of métayeurs, or share-croppers.
Founder Étienne Camuzet was not only a passionate vigneron, but representing the Côte d’Or. His daughter had inherited the estate, she found herself with no successors, so the estate was passed down to her closest relative, Jean Méo. In the early 1980s, as many of the métayeurs were starting to retire, it became clear that the domaine needed a new direction. By 1985, it was Jean's son turn to take the helm. He made the bold decision to slowly start reclaiming the land for the domaine’s own bottlings. He called upon the resident expert, one of Burgundy’s greatest winemakers of all time, Henri Jayer, for guidance. Henri had spent over forty years farming parcels from Méo-Camuzet under his own label, while enjoying celebrity status in the Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant portfolio. For three years, he mentored Jean-Nicolas during the transition and finally decided to retire in 1988. Though Jayer passed away in 2006, his legacy endures to this day.
