Meo-Camuzet wines may be labeled as Domaine Meo-Camuzet or as Meo-Camuzet Frere & Sœurs (Negoce).
Producer tasting notes: (2003 vintage) "Marked by the heat-wave, the wines are powerful, rich and complex, with aromas of dried fruit (figs, raisins, etc.) and a very silky texture. They are ageing very slowly and we recommend that you hold on to them (for the most part, it is premier and grand crus that remain): time must play its role in refining these wines with their flamboyant richness. If you decide, all the same, to open them (some appellations are incomparable with cheese), you will need to air them before tasting." - Domaine Meo-Camuzet

- Cros Parantoux is a fine example of a terroir revealed by a man: of a virtually uncultivated terroir, which nonetheless is well oriented towards the east, but difficult to work. Henri Jayer succeeded in obtaining quintessential Vosne-Romanée from it. The vineyard plot is sloping, stony, the soil is not deep, the situation is cool. The Jayer family still owns the largest part of the appellation, but we are happy to be able to work about three quarters of an acre of it. Our smallest cuvée, but our most famous!

- Vineyard Notes
-
The vines date from the 1950's. Strangely enough, despite their age, the grapes they produce are usually quite big. Obviously there's no comparison with the grapes from modern clones, but their concentration cannot be guessed from their appearance. Because of their situation, they tend to mature late.

The vinification does not require a lot of extraction, as the wine possesses the necessary natural structure. Priority must be given to the softness and roundness of the tannins. And anyway, they cannot wait to express themselves.

Burgundy enjoyed an excellent 2003 vintage.
A mild, damp winter gave way to an early spring and, despite some frost and hail, both budburst and flowering occurred sooner than expected. These haphazard conditions eventually gave way to an extremely long searing hot s...
