Goedhuis, December 2017
Instead of traditional whole bunch fermentation, Jean-Nicolas destemmed and then added back a proportion of the best stems to great effect. With a delicate purple colour, wild strawberry and loganberry aromas, this is a generous style of Clos de Vougeot. It is open and yet weighty and will be approachable from a relatively early stage.

Burghound, January 2018, Score: 91-94
A noticeably, and agreeably, floral-infused nose speaks of a pretty variety of red berries that are laced with hints of earth, spice and oak. The delicious middle weight plus flavors possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while flashing a beguiling texture that is finer than usual while delivering excellent length on the balanced finish that is less youthfully austere than usual. Another difference is that this is also a bit denser than usual as well and like the Rognets this should both age well but also be approachable relatively early on. Drink: 2028+

Stephen Tanzer, January 2018, Score: 93-95
Good medium red. Alluring scents of dark raspberry, mocha and game. This wine brilliantly combines charm and power, with its intense flavors of sappy dark cherry, herbs, licorice and violet supported by firming stony minerality. Dense, energetic and complete, finishing with excellent length. This unusually elegant Clos Vougeot strikes me as more successful in the context of its vintage than the 2015. And not at all austere despite the crop level of just 23 hectoliters per hectare.

Decanter, January 2018, Score: 93
The domaine lost about 25% of its crop in the Clos Vougeot this year, but the resulting wine remains very classic, with a bouquet of ripe plum, cassis, roast espresso, grilled meat and incense. The wine is full-bodied, ample and quite four-square out of the gates, with a tense, firm chassis of tannin and good concentration. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045

When Jean-Nicolas Méo arrived in 1989 he had very big shoes to fill. Henri Jayer, arguably Burgundy’s preeminent vigneron, had managed the domaine for the previous four decades under a share-cropping agreement with the Méo family. Since then Jean-Nicolas has more than met the challenge. Following meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices he creates wonderful wines with fine levels of concentration, and today, almost three decades since his ascension, it ranks in the upper echelons of the Burgundy firmament. The majority of wines are red, ranging from Bougogne Rouge up to their ultra-famous Cros Parantoux and outstanding Richebourg. But Jean-Nicolas also makes a miniscule production of white wine. He began planting the Chardonnay for his Clos St. Philibert on steep slopes overlooking Nuit St. Georges over 25 years ago from carefully selected Chardonnay clones. Domaine Méo-Camuzet has expanded its line of 'vins de négoce' in recent years. These wines are bottled under the 'Méo-Camuzet Frères et Soeurs' label.Read less
