To taste a very special Greco di Tufo — 4 years ago
Very bright. Fresh and sappy. Powerful red fruit. Like able but a little one note for meo. — 6 years ago

The first of a bracket of 3 x Corton Rouge at the 2016 Grand Cru tasting. Ironically before the tasting a few of us were discussing how underwhelming Corton Rouge tends to be and that maybe they should plant the lot to Chardonnay. WELL! How wrong can you be. This was the best bracket of Corton Rouge in 4 years of attending these tastings. All tasted blind. The Meo had a lovely spicy nose of red fruits. Fresh - 10% whole bunch. The palate was of palate staining intensity and amazing length. All 3 in this bracket shared that. — 6 years ago



Acidity and bright, bruised fruit - 2006. Impressive — 7 years ago
Functional Brûlée’s from a decanter. Enjoyable. But on a night with DRC and Meo and also@lacking the age was a tough situation — 8 years ago
Blinded, everyone agreed this was Burgundian but had their own ideas on village, vintage, and producer. No one figured out it was from Vosne - perhaps it just lacked the hallmark perfume and exoticism one might think of in Vosne (once more, the fallacy of generalisation in wine). MR was spot on with vintage though, and he was insistent about it due to that touch of austerity in the finish he typically finds in 08’s. As for producer, only MJ thought of Cathiard once the village was established. I was tossing between Mugneret-Gibourg (KP rebuts not sexy enough) and Meo (again KP rebuts not bright enough). What a tough blind by KP!
The wine itself was powerful and concentrated, with lots of mid-palate density, yet as MR observed, a tight finish. Flavours-wise, it featured heaps of red and black fruits (leaning more towards the latter) and some noticeable oak (though not decadent - nice quality!), as well as some earth and meat which probably threw me off in the blind. Having said that, the Vosne origin may have been linked to via the finish which had ample spice notes. A silky texture, lovely mineral undertow and tight acidity wraps up the wine. Really excellent wine but the pieces have yet to fall together to maximise drinkability. One to keep your hands off for now. — 4 years ago
Way too early. Opened for a webinar with Ted Lemon and J . N. Meo — 6 years ago
Another good run-in with the dreaded 04' red Burgundy vintage, another wrong guess in a blind. Drank with the 04' Meo Brulees, which I thought was the better wine despite them both overcoming most of the vintage's greenness. This leans more on the rich side, more brooding, but still manages to remain juicy and mineral. Nose was perhaps less interesting than the Meo, and the oak still a little awkward at this stage. Finishes quite tart and long. I think time will bring it more balance. Nice wine, but not the style I prefer. — 7 years ago
Light ruby in color. On the nose, smells of mellowed strawberry and raspberry, with just a hint of pencil shavings and some toasted oak. The light color belies the intensity of the wine. When it touches the palate, the taste of red fruits come to the fore. The tanins are very fine. Sure enough, the minerality comes through after the taste of fruit fades, and it lingers on for about half a minute. This 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras from Meo-Camuzet has the right balance between intensity and elegance. Very enjoyable to drink now. — 8 years ago
La Paulée Meo-Camuzet Masterclass 3/4/23 simple cherry, but thin. — 3 years ago


We drunk three Vougeot over the last two days. A 2014 chateau de la tour, a 2009 le moine and now a 2008! Meo Camuzet.. it only shows how tricky this cuvée is. Too big, too uneven, too many producers, always expensive. This is right in the middle, same fruit as the 2014, same roundness as the 2009. This is an outstanding Vougeot, fresh, fwd fruit and great complexity. — 7 years ago

I opened and double decanted this more out of curiosity than a desire to have it accompany our braised lamb shanks. I had a bottle of it back around 2013 or 2014 and it was about as impenetrably tannic as a wine could be. Undrinkable at that time. So I kept the other bottle in the cellar and forgot about it. At age 20, it’s actually pretty good, and I think it would appeal especially to those (looking at you @Doug Powers ) who appreciate aged wine. My brother Angelo’s notes from a bottle a few months ago nail it. Rich nose, full of interesting tertiary scents. There’s still some fruit though. Piercing acids. And the tannins still there but has softened considerably. It’s not my jam, pleasure-wise, but it’s quite interesting and I have to give this credit for aging quite nicely. — 4 months ago
