2014 GEVREY CHAMBERTIN MÉO-CAMUZET FRÈRES ET SOEURS - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

• 

  Goedhuis, December 2015

  A structured and powerfully flavoured wine, with layers of dark autumnal fruits, and hints of truffle and spice. A mouth-coating, rewarding style focusing on the rich, firm nature for which the appellation of Gevrey Chambertin is so famed.

  Score: 87-89

  The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Village, which is mostly from the lieu-dit "En Champs" in Brochon, has a forward bouquet with hints of dark chocolate infiltrating the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, the 30% new oak neatly folded into the fruit, linear but balanced on the finish. This is a respectable village cru in the making. Drink 2016-2023

  Score: 87-89

  A subtle application of oak frames the exuberantly fresh and cool nose of cherry, pomegranate and gentle earth and humus nuances. There is excellent punch and detail to the lightly mineral-inflected flavors that exhibit a touch of austerity on the dusty, long and linear finale.

Producer

Domaine Méo-Camuzet

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.
