The estate

In Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet takes its name from Étienne Camuzet, who acquired vines in the Clos de Vougeot in 1920. In 1959, Jean Méo took over the running of the estate and continued its story. The first vintage under the Méo-Camuzet label was produced in 1983. Today, the estate cultivates prestigious climats of the Côte de Nuits, including Richebourg, Échézeaux and Cros Parantoux. Its Pinot Noirs are elegant and profound, and express all the finesse of the Burgundian terroir.

The vineyard

The Clos de Vougeot enjoys a privileged position at the top of the appellation, at the foot of the château. This single, continuous parcel of nearly 3 hectares has well-balanced but shallow soils, with only 40 centimetres of topsoil resting on a subsoil of stones and weathered rock. The vines, one third of which were planted in 1920, one third in the 1960s and the remainder between 1970 and 1980, develop the deep root system necessary for the expression of this exceptional terroir.

The vintage

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by particular climatic conditions that encouraged early ripening of the grapes, resulting in a pure aromatic expression and fine natural concentration.

Winemaking and ageing

The vinification of the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 favours a more extensive extraction than average, notably through punching down (pigeage), in order to gain length. The ageing benefits particularly from new Tronçais oak, allowing the wine to find its balance quickly. A slightly extended ageing period reveals the full depth of this exceptional cuvée.
