Domaine Méo-Camuzet Fixin Clos du Chapitre 2017

Discover this Fixin Clos du Chapitre 2017

One of the great estates of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Méo-Camuzet was founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Étienne Camuzet, a member of the French parliament for the Côte d'Or from 1902 to 1932. He selected and bought vineyards which were of particular interest to him, as well as the extraordinary Château de Clos de Vougeot (he was the last single owner before donating it to the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin). His holdings were passed down to his daughter, Maria Noirot, and then later to a more distant relative, Jean Méo, in 1959. Like many domaines at the time, the vineyards were looked after by sharecroppers (métayeurs) and the wine was sold off in bulk to négociants. The domaine did not start bottling its own wine until 1985 and when Jean's son, Jean-Nicolas, arrived in 1989, the domaine had truly begun to transform. Henri Jayer, one of Burgundy's most inimitable personalities, will be forever linked to Méo-Camuzet. He remained one of the long-term sharecroppers until his first retirement in 1988. After this, he continued to advise the domaine for many more years. They have an impressive range of wines made from 25 different appellations, including both their domaine wines as well as a négociant label sold under the name Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs.
