Meo Camuzet

Meo Camuzet

Founded at the turn of the 20th century by member of parliament and Vosne-Romanee Mayor Etienne Camuzet, Domaine Meo-Camuzet is one of the undisputed star estates of Burgundy, thanks largely to Camuzet’s tendency to pick and choose the finest parcels of land in the region.

After Camuzet’s death, the holdings were passed to his daughter, Maria Noirot, who, childless, bequeathed the estate to her distant relative Jean Meo on the condition that the vineyard should be managed in the family spirit. And that it was, with a blending of names marking a new era for the domaine, as did the involvement of legendary personality Henri Jayer in caring for the vines. Henri had spent over forty years farming parcels from Meo-Camuzet under his own label. For three years, he mentored Jean-Nicolas during the transition.

Jean-Nicolas has since directed the cellar and sales. Jean-Nicolas aims for balance and purity of fruit, which he accomplishes with terrific success. Though delicate and fine, even in their youth, the paradoxical concentration and intensity of these wines make them ideal for long cellar aging. These tunning achievements are a Burgundy lover’s dream.
