Meo Camuzet - Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes-de-Nuits Blanc Clos St. Philibert 2020

Add to Wish List

"Bursting with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, pastry cream and orange oil, the 2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc Clos St. Philibert is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. It's unusually textural and dramatic this year." 01/22; William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Meo Camuzet Description

Méo-Camuzet is one of the most celebrated domaines of the Côte d’Or, located in the heart of prestigious Vosne-Romanée. The domaine boasts fourteen hectares of land in some of the most spectacular appellations and crus of Burgundy. The vineyard land in Burgundy is highly parceled out among families, which makes it rare for anyone to have enough vines to be able to bottle one grand cru, let alone the six that the Méos have. The early beginnings of the domaine left it in the hands of share-croppers. The last twenty years have brought substantial changes that have fostered a new chapter for the Méo family.

A View from the Cellar: 89 Points

The 2020 Clos St. Philibert Blanc was showing quite nicely at the time of my visit. The bouquet offers up scents of pear, white peach, chalky soil tones, spring flowers and just a hint of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and zesty, with a good core and soil signature, bright acids and good length and grip on the well-balanced finish. Good juice.

Vinous

Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2020 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc Clos St. Philibert has a fresh pear and green apple scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a ripe orange zest and peachy notes, just a slight soft landing on the finish. Fine." 11/21
