2013 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru Méo-Camuzet, Burgund

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2013 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

Here the nose is mildly reduced though not so much that undertones of earth, sauvage and oak are hidden. There is excellent volume to the suave and mouth coating big-bodied flavors that possess evident power and minerality, all wrapped in an austere and lingering finish that is underpinned by a firm core of bright acidity. This is solidly structured at present but I suspect that it will be approachable after only 7 or 8 years. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2015

Vinous - 2013 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

(I tasted this from a new barrel as the used ones had not yet finished their secondary fermentation; the ultimate blend will have 60% new oak): Good deep red. Aromas of red cherry, spices and crushed stone show a medicinal reserve. Juicy and penetrating, with a distinctly crunchy quality to the slightly tart cranberry and pomegranate flavors. This mineral-driven Corton is youthfully clenched today, even a bit dry. Méo may use a higher percentage of new oak in future vintages to sweeten this wine and allow for more breadth. - Stephen Tanzer, Jan. 2015
