"Méo's family cuvée of Les Perrières is this year (and perhaps only this year) blended with fruit from premier cru Les Terres Blanches to produce the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru (Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs). Exhibiting aromas of red berries, cherries, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with ripe tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Jean-Nicolas Méo began his harvest on August 23, and he has produced another fine vintage at this Vosne-Romanée reference point. Méo has always done well in warm, sunny vintages (as a lovely bottle of his 2003 Nuits Lavières recently reminded me), and 2020 is no exception. Indeed, for a vintage that was generally somewhat primary and frequently tightly wound this winter, Méo's wines—habitually quite backward after 12 months' élevage—were remarkably put together and expressive. Mostly landing at around 13.5% alcohol, they're vibrant, concentrated and nicely balanced, showing considerable aging potential."

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.
2020 in Burgundy was warm, with an early harvest yielding concentrated yet fresh reds of vivid fruit and fine tannins; the whites retain surprising acidity and balance, forming an excellent, versatile vintage.
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.
