FEATURES
Méo Camuzet stands as a top producer in Burgundy's Côte d'Or, boasting excellent vineyard holdings in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The 2019 vintage, while generally easy, saw vines ripening simultaneously. The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru, particularly the Aux Murgers, showcases vibrant red fruit, fine delineation, and the very essence of Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, offering a silky-smooth, Vosne-like style with hints of dark chocolate and candied orange peel on the sustained finish. Another notable success, the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots, bursts with notes of plums, wild berries, exotic spices, peonies, and blood orange. It is medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, elegantly fleshy, with lively acids, melting tannins, and a penetrating finish. While some early notes for Aux Boudots suggested a very toasty nose and a somewhat flat palate, indicating a need for time, overall reviews are highly positive, describing it as "superb" and "outstanding". 【A superb Premier Cru from a top Burgundy producer, showcasing vibrant red fruit and a silky texture】, this wine is ready to drink from 2023-2035, with the Aux Boudots having a drinking window of 2024-2039.
