Meo Camuzet - Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Argillas 1er Cru 2015

Add to Wish List

"The 2015 les Argillières was another late finished of its malolactic in the Méo cellars this year, but the wine seemed in good spirits and showed well during my visit. The bouquet is excellent, jumping from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, nutskin, gamebird, a fine base of soil, cedar and nice spicy elements in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and soil-driven, with a very solid core, ripe, fine-grained tannins and impressive length and grip on the focused finish. This is one of the coolest premier crus in Nuits and this has certainly benefited it in the hot summer of 2015." (Drink between 2023-2060) John Gilman (92+ Points)

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.

Vinous

Bright red-ruby. Reticent, reserved aromas of black cherry, licorice and menthol. Densely packed, sappy and energetic, with good saline minerality framing the liqueur-like dark cherry fruit. This wine stood out for its acidity in the early going, noted Méo, adding that Argillas is often overlooked as it can be rustic when it's young. Quite backward today but finishes with terrific energy.
