Why we follow Domaine Méo-Camuzet
The estate
The vineyards were assembled by Étienne Camuzet, a politician who helped bring the appellation system into being and who bought the Château du Clos de Vougeot in 1920. For decades afterwards the vines were farmed by sharecroppers, and for around forty years the most important of them was Henri Jayer. When those arrangements ended, Jean-Nicolas Méo took the helm in 1985 and began bottling under the family name, with Jayer as his mentor. Jayer retired in 1988 and advised for some years after. Christian Faurois, son of one of the former métayers, manages the vineyards.
The vineyards
Fourteen hectares. Richebourg is a third of a hectare at the top of the vineyard, immediately alongside Cros Parantoux. Clos de Vougeot, Échezeaux and Corton complete the grand crus. Then there is Cros Parantoux itself, the premier cru Jayer made famous, with Les Brûlées and Les Chaumes nearby and top Nuits-St-Georges premier crus in Murgers and Boudots. A négociant arm, Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs, extends the range.
In the glass
Farmed as organically as possible but deliberately uncertified, so that the team retains flexibility in difficult vintages. Horses work the vineyards and the handwork is meticulous. The winemaking is Jayer's school: cold soak, largely destemmed fruit, and generous but well-judged new oak. The wines are opulent and polished young, with a serious architecture underneath that carries them for decades. Brûlées, Cros Parantoux and Richebourg sit contiguously at the top of the Vosne slope, which makes tasting them side by side one of the most instructive exercises in Burgundy. The Nuits-St-Georges premier crus are Nuits filtered through a Vosne sensibility, and remain an insider's value.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
