As with all great vintages, the terroir will need a little time to reveal itself.
Today, some wines are showing a tendency to close up: they are becoming tighter, less direct, not so easy-drinking.
A favourable evolution, especially for the premiers and grands crus, which seem to be bound for glory...
At the beginning of the 20th century Etienne Camuzet, a winegrower at Vosne Romanée and MP for the Côte-d'Or, decided to expand his domain, by purchasing very specific parcels.
He was the last person to own Clos de Vougeot before it was taken over by the fellowship of Tastevin who's daughter Maria Noirot left it to Jean Méo whose son, Jean-Nicolas, has been the director since 1989.
The wine is matured in new oak barrels to ensure optimum ageing. Bottling is carried out at the property after roughly 17 months of maturing.
The wine is bottled using gravity-flow, without being filtered and, except in a few cases, without fining. The wine is not modified to keep it as pure as possible. It is one of the greatest domains in Burgundy.
Nose: aromas of sweet red fruit, fairly low acidity.
Palate: The palate of this Nuit St Georges has a great fullness to it.
