“Fine glowing deep purple. Here there is both depth and class. This is a blend from Aux Communes, ripe fruit, and north facing Barreaux, now assembled and returned to barrel. This works really well together with the plummy ripe notes kept well in check. Very long finish. I think this could be exceptional.”

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

“Aromas of wild berries, plums, warm spices and loamy soil, framed by a deft touch of toasty new oak, introduce Méo’s 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village, a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine that’s bright and vibrant, built around powdery tannins and concluding with a penetrating finish. Jean-Nicolas Méo began his harvest on August 23, and he has produced another fine vintage at this Vosne-Romanée reference point. Méo has always done well in warm, sunny vintages (as a lovely bottle of his 2003 Nuits Lavières recently reminded me), and 2020 is no exception. Indeed, for a vintage that was generally somewhat primary and frequently tightly wound this winter, Méo’s wines—habitually quite backward after 12 months’ élevage—were remarkably put together and expressive. Mostly landing at around 13.5% alcohol, they’re vibrant, concentrated and nicely balanced, showing considerable aging potential.”

“The 2020 Vosne-Romanée AC from Domaine Méo-Camuzet is again from estate-grown fruit and the wine has that extra touch of refinement as is found in the Nuits AC this year. The nose is a lovely, sappy blend of cassis, black plums, coffee bean, a complex base of soil tones, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and pure on the attack, with a good core of black fruit, fine soil undertow, ripe tannins, tangy acids and fine balance on the long, focused and still quite primary finish. Good juice. (Drink between 2030-2065) ”
