Corton Grand Cru “Les Perrières” 2021 – Méo-Camuzet
The mineral and vertical face of Corton
The 2021 vintage of Les Perrières reflects a terroir-driven, vibrant and finely etched Pinot Noir. Méo-Camuzet captures the vertical tension, refined tannins and mineral precision of this high-altitude Grand Cru, with a vintage that celebrates freshness over power.
In the vineyard: a low-yield year with concentrated results
Spring frost and cooler conditions led to reduced yields in 2021, but what remained was pure and concentrated. The rocky, limestone soils of Les Perrières helped maintain drainage and aromatic clarity. Hand-harvested late in the season, the fruit retained firm acidity and phenolic ripeness, ideal for a focused, terroir-driven wine.
In the cellar: finesse and restraint
Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and gentle extraction were key to maintaining purity. Aging lasted 16 months in French oak barrels, about 40% new, to integrate complexity without overwhelming the natural tension of the wine.
Tasting notes
Color: bright, deep ruby with purple glints.
Nose: red currant, sour cherry, graphite and floral undertones.
Palate: linear and vibrant, with silky tannins and a 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.
