Domaine MÉO-CAMUZET/MÉO-CAMUZET Frère & Soeurs (Vosne-Romanée) -- 2017 Tasted from Barrel and Tank Samples

Jean-Nicolas Méo said that harvesting took place from 6 to 9 September. Malo-lactic fermentations were rapid, and the wines took some time to recover from them, he said. He said that malic acidities were high; most other estates I visited said malic acidities were normal or low.

The estate will be switching to DIAM corks of top quality for its top cuvées, thereby joining other prestigious estates, such as Lafon, Domaine Leflaive, de Montille (in part), and Bouchard Père & Fils, that have made the switch.

Wines marked with an asterisk (*) are Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs, made from purchased fruit (including, in some cases, vineyards that Méo-Camuzet essentially farms); those without the asterisk are Domaine Méo-Camuzet wines. (Continue reading here.)
