Domaine Méo-Camuzet 位於布爾岡核心名村 Vosne-Romanée，現由莊主 Jean-Nicolas Méo 掌舵。酒莊早年將部分葡萄園交由傳奇釀酒師 Henri Jayer 耕作及釀酒，直至 1980 年代後期逐步收回，在 Jayer 指導下建立起細膩純淨、極具表現力的標誌性風格。葡萄園廣泛採納有機及生物動力法原則。
Aux Brûlées 緊鄰特級園 Richebourg 北側，佔據山坡中段優越位置，亦是 Henri Jayer 當年管理的重要地塊之一。2016 年份受春季霜凍影響，產量極為稀少，留存的果實成熟集中，葡萄酒展現紅黑果香、細膩香料氣息與絲滑緊實的單寧結構，陳年潛力出眾。
Domaine Méo-Camuzet is a wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. It produces some of the most celebrated wines from the Côte d'Or from a range of grand cru vineyards, including Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton and Echézeaux. Most of Méo-Camuzet's wines are made from Pinot Noir, and are known for their delicate aromatic concentration.
The founder of the estate was Etienne Camuzet, an early-20th Century politician based in Paris, who offered parts of his estate to a variety of sharecroppers to farm. Eventually, it came into the hands of Jean-Nicholas Méo in 1986, who realized that the extensive sharecropping meant that only a small portion of vines were under the domaine's control. He set out a long-term strategy to regain the plots from the sharecroppers who were currently working them, with the goal of eventually having estate-grown fruit and bottling under his own label, Méo-Camuzet.
One of these landholders was iconic Burgundy producer Henri Jayer. He had farmed the domaine's land to bottle under his own label for about 40 years. He retired in 1988 and helped to advise Jean-Nicholas on the reacquisition of his vines. Méo-Camuzet now has 14 hectares (35 acres) of vines, including a part of the Cros Parantoux Premier Cru site, which was made famous by Jayer.
Most of the vineyards are farmed as organically as possible, but Méo-Camuzet has chosen not to be certified, in order to be able to treat vines as the vintage dictates. Along with the grand cru wines, there are several wines made from premier cru vineyards along the Côte de Nuits, as well as a number of more generic village-level and Bourgogne wines.

An exuberantly fresh and ripe nose of cassis, black cherry, violet and a wonderful panoply of spice elements. The rich, sense and overtly powerful medium weight plus flavors possess superb density along with an almost pungent minerality before culminating in a dusty, indeed almost chalky, finish that seems to go on and on. The firm tannins are already well-integrated and this should effortlessly reward extended cellaring.
