Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 Meo Camuzet

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 – Méo-Camuzet

Power and structure from one of Burgundy’s most iconic crus

Clos de Vougeot is a mythical name in Burgundy’s landscape. A walled vineyard, fragmented among many producers, yet capable of vastly different interpretations. Méo-Camuzet owns a small plot in the upper part of the clos, near the château, where the soil is stonier and better drained. The resulting wine is majestic, structured, and deep, blending the noble austerity of the Grand Cru with modern finesse and clarity.

Vineyard philosophy: precision in a legendary parcel

The vineyard is farmed with sustainable and respectful practices, without formal certification but with high standards. Méo-Camuzet’s plot sits on a gentle slope, with optimal exposure and limestone-clay soil rich in gravel. All vineyard work is manual: light tilling, precise pruning, and meticulous grape selection. The goal is to bring only healthy, ripe, and intact grapes to the cellar — a true expression of place.

In the cellar: depth without excess

Vinification is based on spontaneous fermentation, gentle maceration, and a carefully managed use of new oak, around 70–80% for this Grand Cru. Ageing lasts about 18 months in barriques, without fining or filtration, allowing the wine to evolve naturally. Structure is bold but never heavy — showing tightly knit energy and restrained finesse.

Tasting notes

Color: deep ruby, dense yet vibrant.
Nose: initially restrained, then opens to black fruits, forest floor, bark, and subtle spice.
Palate: full-bodied, firm but polished tannins, long finish, savory and spiced aftertaste.
