2020 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras
The 2020 vintage, marked by warm days and cool nights, brought vibrancy and structure to Les Cras. Aromas of dark cherries, forest floor, and a hint of graphite define the nose. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with focused acidity, firm tannins, and a mineral-laden finish that speaks to its hillside origins.

Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Domaine Méo-Camuzet, founded in the early 20th century, is one of Burgundy's most prestigious estates. Located in Vosne-Romanée, the domaine manages about 14 hectares of vineyards, including holdings in several grand cru sites such as Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, and Échezeaux. Under the leadership of Jean-Nicolas Méo since the 1980s, the estate has risen to prominence, known for producing wines of exceptional quality and finesse. Méo-Camuzet's history is notable for its connection to Henri Jayer, a legendary Burgundian winemaker who served as a consultant and mentor to the domaine.
The domaine's vineyards are primarily situated in the Côte de Nuits, the northern half of Burgundy's famous Côte d'Or. This region is renowned for producing some of the world's finest Pinot Noir wines. The Côte de Nuits stretches from Marsannay in the north to just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, encompassing legendary villages like Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Chambolle-Musigny. The area is characterized by a patchwork of small vineyards, each with its unique terroir and classification within Burgundy's complex appellation system.
The terroir of the Côte de Nuits, where Méo-Camuzet's vineyards are located, is distinguished by its limestone-based soils, often mixed with varying proportions of clay and stone. The vineyards typically occupy east-facing slopes, providing ideal sun exposure while offering protection from harsh western winds. The region's cool continental climate, marked by warm summers and cold winters, allows for the slow, even ripening of Pinot Noir grapes. This unique combination of soil composition, slope orientation, and climate contributes to the production of wines renowned for their complexity, aromatic intensity, and remarkable aging potential.
