"In most vintage chez Méo, I have a preference for the Cras over the Feusselottes in the cellars here, but not in 2013, as this wine has really turned out beautifully. The excellent aromatic constellation delivers a superb blend of red and black cherries, very complex soil tones, a touch of pomegranate, gamebirds, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very soil-driven, with a lovely core of pure fruit, excellent focus and bounce and a very long, suavely-tannic finish. I love the shape and transparency to this wine in 2013, which can often start off life a bit broad-shouldered in the Méo cellars, but this year it just exudes elegance and purity right out of the blocks."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
