***Stock available for dispatch from 20th October***

Bright ruby-red. A fruit bomb on the nose, offering almost liqueur-like scents of black cherry and dark raspberry but with considerably more energy than the Perrières. Then less sweet on the palate than the nose would suggest, displaying seriously dense, plush dark fruit flavors supported by plush tannins. Finishes with terrific length and surprising energy. Méo noted that he picked this fruit early enough (September 24) to retain verve. These vines on the Ladoix-Serrigny side of the Corton hill avoided the frost in 2016. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Producer

Meo Camuzet

Méo-Camuzet is one of the undisputed star estates of Burgundy. Until 1988 most of the domaine's holdings were leased out to other vignerons and amazingly most of the wine was sold off to négociants in bulk. Today, it is a very different story. Jean-Nicolas Méo and Christian Faurois now run the Domaine and together they produce some of the very best wine in the Côte d'Or. Meo Camuzet produces full-bodied, firm, rich, oaky, concentrated wines, which no serious Burgundy drinker should overlook. Before the current incumbent, there are two major names associated with this great Vosne-Romanée domaine. The first is Etienne Camuzet, a political figure who was deputy for the Côte d’Or from 1902 to 1932, and who purchased during his life some significant vineyard holdings as well as the Château de Clos de Vougeot, which he later gave to the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. His name frequently appears in litigation to decide which parcels of vineyard might or might not be included as part of a grand cru. The second great personality is of course Henri Jayer, who was invited to look after the Camuzet vines as long ago as World War II, though not having been involved in the business before. Jayer remained a sharecropper until his (first) retirement in 1988, after which he continued to advise the domaine.
