The elegance and precision of a Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru

The estate

In Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet takes its name from Étienne Camuzet, who acquired vines in 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, expressing all the finesse of the Burgundy terroir.

The vineyard

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

The vintage

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

Vinification and ageing

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