  This is the ace in Méo-Camuzet’s pack of impressive premiers crus. The fruit is distinctly fresh and shows the precision and elegance of the vintage with great success. It is silky, suave, sophisticated.

  The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru has quite a complex, cerebral bouquet of mineral-laden dark berry fruit, hints of undergrowth and a subtle wet limestone aroma. The medium-bodied palate offers crisp, slightly chalky tannin, well-judged acidity, moderate depth and a tensile, very focused finish. There is a little strictness at the moment, but I feel it will gain more flesh by the time of bottling. This is extremely promising. 2022 - 2040

  Moderate wood influence sets off the beautifully spicy aromas that consist primarily of plum, black cherry and exotic Asian-style tea. The rich, full-bodied and solidly dense flavors also brim with sappy dry extract that buffers the less firm but still prominent tannins on the lingering finish where a hint of bitter cherry pit emerges. This isn't quite as complex as the best in the range at present but I have found over the years that this wine tends to develop excellent depth as it ages. Drink 2029+

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.
