Domaine Méo-Camuzet

Jean-Nicolas Méo took over running Domaine Méo-Camuzet in 1989, continuing the work of his father, Jean. He is now responsible for the polished, opulent and intense wines which are sought after the world over. He has also established a successful négociant business, Méo-Camuzet Frères et Soeurs, in collaboration with his sisters which allows them to produce a broader and more accessible range of Burgundies. Prior to Jean-Nicolas’s arrival, and for much of the 20th century, the vineyards had been rented out to tenant farmers, including Burgundian legend Henri Jayer. It was only when Jean-Nicolas took the reins that the estate began bottling their own wines. Méo-Camuzet has 14 hectares of prime, organically farmed (although not certified) vineyards in some of the most prestigious parts of the Côte de Nuits. They own almost five hectares of enviable grands crus split over six sites, including Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Echèzeaux, Clos Rognet, Corton Les Perrières, and Corton La Vigne au Saint.
