Méo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019

96 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): “Located near the château, Méo’s holding in the Clos de Vougeot dates to Etienne Camuzet’s purchase in 1920 and the average vine age is 60 years. These grapes are blended with a parcel in Grand Maupertuis to produce what must surely be among the most majestic wines of the Clos de Vougeot, with a strikingly spicy black fruit, massive concentration and a brooding, tannic structure that leads to an immense finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2039. (Oct 2020)”

95 points La Revue du Vin de France (2022).

93-95+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): “Méo’s 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is shaping up brilliantly, mingling notes of orange peel, cassis and plums with notions of rose petals, sweet soil tones and exotic spices. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s velvety and concentrated, with real mid-palate amplitude and an elegantly muscular profile. Perfumed and penetrating, this cuvée—from an optimally situated parcel below the château—is a fine long-haul proposition. (Jan 2021)”

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): “Not the deepest colour. A top to bottom nose, red fruit at the base violets on high. A touch of gas. A fine framework here too; depth to the flavour. An almost layered finishing effect. That’s yet another very delicious wine. A great finish – intense and long-lasting. (Dec 2021)”
