| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by yangtoa on 10/14/2023 & rated 88 points: Stylistically traditional and one can almost taste the stems and the tannins. Very extracted and gave lot of umph suspect the sorting and selection played a big part in it at the expense of yield.
Violets on the nose less of the primary on palate with more depth and Asian spices. Structurally intact and would lay this to sleep for 5-10years more. (440 views) | | | Tasted by nmmnori on 6/24/2023 & rated 92 points: Meo Camuzet Dinner (ST Home): Initially had a touch of heat on the nose and palate suggesting a very mild maderization to the wine - either my senses betrayed me or this blew off over some time. Very fine and put together. Levity and elegance seem to define the younger Meo wines of the evening. Not overbearing and drinking well now. (655 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 8/22/2019 & rated 90 points: The 2011 Meo Camuzet Echezeaux is still ungiving at this stage despite most 2011 are approachable already, this needs another couple of years to mellow out the wood spices and structure. Fresh dark berries, rich oak spices with fine grained tannins. Austere tannins that reminds me of 2011? Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru? (89-90/100) (1792 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 5/1/2016 & rated 88 points: The nose showed rich dark fruits, savory herbs, charred meat and hints of crushed stone. On the palate, it was leaner than expected with herbal blackberry and minerals. It finished angular on dried florals and fruit, with hints of tannin coating the senses. (2738 views) | | | Tasted by FamilyLarsson on 4/12/2016 & rated 91 points: Massor av rosor och violer, mogen men lite syrlig frukt, läder och lakrits. Fin balans och fin längd (2444 views) | | | Tasted by Ramberg on 4/12/2016 & rated 92 points: Very special evening tonight.
12 bottles of Echézeaux – 2011 where enjoyed, semi – blind, by a small group of Bourgogne lovers.
Short notes on each wine.
Meo – Camuzet, Lieux – dits: 100% Les rouges du Bas.
Nose: Animalistic & meaty, nice funkiness, sweet strawberries & cherries, floral perfume emerges, some herbs and minerals.
Palate: Tart red berries, rather firm, good length and high acidity.
(92 – 94) (2305 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/6/2016 & rated 93 points: Domaines et Saveurs Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Tasting, brief note. Floral, sweet and savory spice, plenty of red fruit. No mistaking the oak, but that will integrate as the wine softens over the next few years. Very weighty while graceful. Give this to 2020 or later, and I think it will be a real charmer for the next few decades. (2807 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/21/2015: Fine Vines Fall 2015 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. red cherry and berry. Some elegance is starting to emerge, but this is still firm and backward at its conclusion. I like where this is evolving, but that evolution will take time. (2535 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Me on 11/17/2014 & rated 94 points: At a retailer tasting. Seriously good with so much going on. Notes of fresh cream, wet earth, black pepper and black fruit. Rich finish. Be patient. 93-95 points. (1438 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 11/9/2014: Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. In contrast with the very accessible D Mugneret '11 Echezeaux just tasted, this Meo is dense, dark and brooding. Very good concentration and spice bodes well for this wine, which shows none of the jagged edges many other 2011s are showing. (2636 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/6/2014: Knightsbridge 2011 Burgundy Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Very fresh, bright aromatic start with red and black berries, floral notes and sweet baking spice. Palate start with similar flavor profile, perhaps a little darker, then becomes very firm and auster middle to finish. No bitter or green elements here, just very tannic. This will require a decade in the cellar. (2751 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 4/23/2013 & rated 91 points: France 2013 - Côte d'Or; 4/20/2013-4/23/2013 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. From half bottle. Quite a bit of oak/sulphur showing here with spicy notes and red fruits. Lively plate with great acidity. This is open right now and really, really nice. Great depth and precision and tension. Best wine yet with 92-95pt potential. Give this 10-15 years. Excellent. 91+ (2015 views) |
| Domaine Méo-Camuzet Producer website
Meo Camuzet is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious producers in Burgundy and
revered by the cognoscenti of Red Burgundy collectors. The esteemed Henri Jayer
(who's wines go for upwards of 4k+) has been integral in the estate's prowess since
1959. No serious Burgundy drinker should be without Meo Camuzet in their cellar.Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
