Corton Grand Cru “Le Rognet” 2003 – Méo-Camuzet
Power and ripeness from an exceptional heatwave vintage
The 2003 vintage of Corton “Le Rognet” showcases the extreme nature of one of Burgundy’s hottest years, with early harvests and incredibly low yields. Yet Méo-Camuzet crafts a wine that is rich, bold and complex, retaining poise and structure. A Grand Cru of depth, maturity, and textural finesse.
In the vineyard: high-altitude freshness meets intense heat
Le Rognet’s vineyards, situated at 280–330 meters, benefited from elevation and chalky soils that helped preserve freshness. Despite the hot, dry summer, careful manual harvest and strict grape selection ensured a balanced concentration. The vines yielded little, but the fruit was intense and expressive.
In the cellar: minimal intervention, maximum expression
Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and a gentle extraction allowed the wine’s natural depth to emerge. Aging lasted 17–18 months in French oak, with about 50% new barrels, giving complexity and soft tannins without excessive toast. A wine that offers both structure and sensual warmth.
Tasting notes
Color: dark ruby with garnet hues.
Nose: ripe black fruits, leather, sweet tobacco, earthy spice.
Palate: round, full and mouth-coating, with smooth tannins and a long, warming finish.

Domaine Méo-Camuzet
The soul of Vosne-Romanée, between tradition and precision
Located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, in Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet is one of the most iconic and refined estates in Burgundy. The domaine’s history is deeply linked to the Camuzet family and the legacy of Henri Jayer, a legendary figure in modern winemaking. Today, under the direction of Jean-Nicolas Méo, the estate combines Burgundian heritage with contemporary precision, always rooted in the vineyard.
Vineyard philosophy: balance and respect
The domaine covers about 17 hectares, including prestigious plots such as Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Échezeaux, Corton, and numerous Premier Cru and Village vineyards across Vosne, Nuits, and Marsannay. The viticulture is sustainable, with no formal certifications but a strong pragmatic and non-intrusive approach.
Vineyard work is gentle and adapted to each plot: light soil tilling, manual harvesting with strict selection, and minimal use of synthetic treatments. The focus is not on the aesthetics of organics but on true terroir expression.
Winemaking: elegance without compromise
The cellar at Méo-Camuzet is discreet, designed to enhance purity and structure. Fermentations are spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts, and macerations are gentle, respecting the fruit’s integrity.
New oak use is balanced, from 30% to 80% depending on the cuvée, and chosen for finesse and integration. No fining or filtration is applied. The wines are aged on fine lees for 15 to 20 months, gaining depth and definition over time.
Méo-Camuzet wines are refined, tactile, and age-worthy. They don’t chase power, but rather precision, aromatic finesse, and mineral tension, offering some of the purest expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy.
