Clos de Vougeot, Méo Camuzet 2022

Dark purple. A bundle of bright fruit on the nose, dark raspberry, and a little vanilla. The fruit is fully ripe, even with some sucrosity, a touch of black cherry, but still in harmony at 13.9% The fruit is far more in evidence than the structure which it seems to cover. Quite a long finish though.

Meo's Clos de Vougeot has a forward black cherry and lavender aroma with hints of earth and spice. The texture retains great elegance and finesse, with supple but firm tannins, abundant fresh acidity, and a lovely depth of extract. This wine has an alcohol level among the highest in the cellar, but it is still under 14% - an admirable achievement in 2022. Méo tells us that he will blend his parcels to make one wine this year from his 2.75 hectares of vines in La Garenne (Près le Cellier) and Grand Maupertuis. (Drink between 2025-2050)
