" I have always been in lock step with much of the Burgundy cognoscenti in not ranking the Méo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot in the very top tier of examples of the vineyard, but the 1993 is stunning enough to give serious pause. The Méo-Camuzet style is really quite delicate for this vineyard (which often gave rise to comments that the wine just lacked the depth and power for grand cru), but in 1993 the intensity of flavor and palate authority are truly compelling. The nose explodes from the glass in a very Jayer-like mélange of red and black plums, black cherries, duck, dark berries, chocolate, earth and a judicious framing of fairly toasty oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, tangy and transparent, with beguiling plushness on the attack, a rock solid core of fruit, and great length and grip on the long, modestly tannic and quite tangy finish. This is a flat out terrific bottle of wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
