About this Item
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.
Corton-Charlemagne is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, located in the Côte de Beaune subregion. It is renowned for producing some of the finest white wines in the world, characterized by their richness, complexity, and ability to age gracefully.

Critics Ratings
‘This too possesses a lavish amount of oak that fights somewhat with the green apple, lemon, peach and apricot suffused aromas. There is impressive richness to the fleshy and opulent flavors that exude a fine minerality on the attractively complex and persistent finish. This is a succulent example of the appellation and one that will drink well sooner than is typical for it.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-92/100 (June 2013)
