2016 Bourgogne Rouge Méo-Camuzet, Burgund

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2016 Bourgogne Rouge, Méo-Camuzet

A pretty mix features various red berries and earth. I like the sense of verve to the delicious and seductively textured mid-palate of the middle weight flavors that contrasts somewhat with the mildly rustic and drying finish. I doubt that the dryness will persist once the wine is bottled though I underscore that is an educated guess. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2018

Vinous - 2016 Bourgogne Rouge, Méo-Camuzet

The 2016 Bourgogne Rouge, then entry-level cuvée of Jean-Nicolas Méo’s négociant range, has a delightful bouquet with vivid Morello cherry and cranberry fruit. The palate is well balanced with commendable weight for its class: grippy and saline with a welcome tang of white pepper on the finish. It is a delightful Pinot Noir that would provide a perfect entry point to Méo-Camuzet without breaking the bank. Tasted at Field, Morris & Verdin’s annual tasting in London. - Neil Martin, Jun. 2019
