Meo Camuzet Vosne Romanee Aux Brulees 1er Cru 2021 (750ML)

94-96 JM / 92-95 BH

One of the fuller red purple colours. A most engaging expansive deep cherry fruit. This is close to its magical best, with a volume of fruit which for me sits just right. Obviously less than in the recent rich vintages, but definitely enough! And an excellent fresh mineral note through the finish, not the burned stone style of the hot dry years. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: November 2022.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Note: from a .70 ha parcel, most of which are 80+ year old vines
Tasting note: Here the expressive nose freely reveals its overtly exotic aromas of orange peel, jasmine tea, star anise, sandalwood and violet. The rich and impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors are also blessed with an abundance of tannin-buffering dry extract while displaying outstanding length on the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish. This beautifully balanced if compact effort should also amply reward longer-term cellaring. Sweet Spot. Outstanding.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
