Meo Camuzet - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2018

95 Points, Decanter

"Jean-Nicolas made two cuvées of Clos de Vougeot in 2017, but reverted to one in 2018. Fresh, charming and refined, the result is a supple, floral Pinot Noir that's almost good to drink straight out of the barrel, with aromatic cinnamon spice, fine tannins and very well-integrated 80% new wood. Not the most structured Grand Cru perhaps, but this is very sweet and engaging. (TA)"

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: 94 Points

The Coravined sample of this was very discreet and the wine out of cask could not be any different, as this is one of the finest young vintages of Clos Vougeot I have tasted from the domaine in many, many years! The bouquet is youthful, but already beautifully delineated, delivering scents of black cherries, sweet dark berries, a complex base of soil, venison, woodsmoke, gentle spice tones redolent of fresh nutmeg and a beautiful foundation of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very refined in profile, with a sappy core, lovely soil inflection, ripe, buried tannins and impeccable balance on the long, vibrant and very promising finish.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

Pure and juicy cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors fill the plush texture in this red. It's harmonious, with a hint of burning vine cuttings on the lingering finish. So lush and velvety it's approachable now, yet there is a solid grip underneath the ripe fruit. (BS)

 

Wine Advocate: 93-95 Points

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is also showing very well, exhibiting aromas of sweet wild berries, dried flowers, woodsmoke, blood orange and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and muscular, with an ample chassis of fine tannins, good tension at the core and a long, youthfully chewy finish. (WK)
