2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Méo-Camuzet, Burgund (3l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

An unusually spicy nose for young Clos de Vougeot is comprised by pretty red and dark berries along with hints of earth and wood. The delicious and beautifully textured middleweight flavors are not particularly dense though this still display good power and drive on the dusty, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is lovely and fashioned in an understated style. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2024

Vinous - 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from a blend of three parcels vinified separately, matured in 80% new oak, and blended before bottling. The well-defined bouquet is initially understated, with red and black fruit mixed with subtle marine scents, oyster shells and sea cave. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture. It has good concentration and is quite elegant, with gentle grip and much more complexity than the 2021 last year. It feels long and tender. Give it four or five years in bottle, and you will have a fine Clos Vougeot. - Neil Martin, Nov. 2023
