About this Item

2005 Fixin
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Domaine Méo-Camuzet is one of Burgundy’s star properties and is known for its concentrated, rich and serious wines. Until 30 years ago, most of the domaine's vineyards were leased out and the wine was sold to négociants. The domaine only began bottling in 1985 and the various sharecropping agreements, including one with Henri Jayer, have all come to an end. Today, Jean-Nicolas Méo and Christian Faurois, a former sharecropper turned right-hand man, manage the domaine and produce some of the Côte d'Or’s finest wines. The domaine now proudly holds 2.5 hectares of Grands Crus and 8 hectares in some of the finest Premier Cru sites in Nuits-St-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. Most of the vineyards are farmed organically.

Critics Ratings

'The 2005 Fixin displays marrow and roasted meats along with bitter-sweet black cherry fruit and high-toned suggestions of marzipan. Quite dense and firm on the palate, it finishes with decidedly chalky austerity but excellent grip'. - David Schildknect, Wine Advocate (Apr 2007)
