Domaine Meo Camuzet

Founded at the turn of the 20th century by member of parliament and Vosne-Romanee Mayor Etienne Camuzet, Domaine Meo-Camuzet is one of the undisputed star estates of Burgundy, thanks largely to Camuzet’s tendency to pick and choose the finest parcels of land in the region. After Camuzet’s death, the holdings were passed to his daughter, Maria Noirot, who, childless, bequeathed the estate to her distant relative Jean Meo on the condition that the vineyard should be managed in the family spirit. And that it was, with a blending of names marking a new era for the domaine, as did the involvement of legendary personality Henri Jayer in caring for the vines.
Jean-Nicolas Méo’s arrival at the domaine in ’89 signalled a change in direction at the property, with more wines being estate-bottled. Since 2007, everything has been kept by the domaine. Today he presides over no less than 26 wines made from 37 acres of vines in appellations such as Richebourg, Clos Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Corton and Nuits Saint-Georges.

In addition to these wonderful holdings, Jean-Nicolas has established a high-quality négociant business – Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs – buying fruit from trusted growers across the Côte. Vineyard work is overseen by the team at Méo-Camuzet; the wines are of the same excellent quality as those of the domaine.
