The elegance and precision of a Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru

The estate

Heir to a long winegrowing lineage, the Méo-Camuzet estate was officially founded in 1959 in Vosne-Romanée, at the heart of Burgundy. Now run by Jean-Nicolas Méo, alongside his sisters Isabelle and Angéline, the estate cultivates its vines according to environmentally respectful principles. In order to meet strong demand while maintaining its commitment to quality, the family founded the négociant house Méo-Camuzet Frère & Sœurs in 2003. The estate is distinguished by its philosophy of minimal intervention, producing wines that faithfully express the richness of their terroirs.

The vineyard

This wine comes from the prestigious "Les Charmes" climat, located within the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, in the Côte de Nuits. The vines, around forty years old, thrive on very stony soils composed of limestone and clay. This distinctive terroir, combined with a cool microclimate, allows for grapes of remarkable balance.

The vintage

2023 was characterised by particularly mild, sunny and dynamic weather conditions. This highly favourable growing season allowed the berries to reach optimal ripeness by the time of harvest, which took place in mid-September.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates to preserve the berries. After rigorous sorting and complete destemming, vinification begins with a cold maceration, followed by fermentation in concrete tanks using indigenous yeasts. The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Charmes" Méo-Camuzet Frère & Sœurs 2023 is aged in French oak barrels for several months. Finally, the wine is bottled by gravity, without any fining or filtration.

Grape variety

Pinot Noir (100%).
