Corton Grand Cru “Le Rognet” 2020 – Méo-Camuzet

Depth and maturity from one of Corton’s highest-altitude vineyards

The 2020 vintage of Corton “Le Rognet” captures the warm character of the year while retaining the elegance and vertical structure typical of this Grand Cru site. Méo-Camuzet brings out a wine of great richness and concentration, with a well-defined backbone, fine tannins and a powerful mineral finish.

In the vineyard: ripeness balanced by altitude

Le Rognet lies on well-exposed upper slopes (280–330 meters), where limestone soils and natural drainage preserved freshness despite a warm, dry year. Grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness, with careful selection ensuring balance between fruit intensity and structural tension.

In the cellar: gentle extraction, precise aging

Fermentation was spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and extraction was moderate to preserve fruit purity and finesse. The wine was aged 18 months in French oak barrels, about 60% new, enhancing complexity without overpowering the wine’s identity. A generous yet poised Pinot Noir with long-term potential.

Tasting notes

Color: deep ruby with garnet hints.
Nose: ripe blackberry, black cherry, earthy spices and forest floor.
Palate: full-bodied, dense yet silky tannins, long mineral-driven 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.
