Domaine Méo Camuzet - Fixin 1er Cru - Clos du Chapter 2021
Domaine Méo-Camuzet is located in Vosne-Romanée, in the Côte de Nuits , in Burgundy . For more than four centuries, members of the Méo family have devoted themselves to growing vines and making wine. They come from the Burgundian village of Lorsgey, in the north of the Côte d'Or. The estate's founder, Etienne Camuzet , was an early 20th century politician based in Paris, who offered parts of his estate to a variety of sharecroppers to farm. Eventually it passed into the hands of Jean-Nicolas Méo in 1989, who realized that extensive sharecropping meant that only a small portion of the vines were under the domain's control. He has implemented a long-term strategy to recover plots from sharecroppers with the aim of eventually having fruit grown on the estate and bottlings under his own label, Méo-Camuzet. Méo-Camuzet today has 14 hectares of vines, cultivated according to the principles of organic farming , but without certification .
The Fixin Premier Cru Clos du Chapter is a trading wine made from a vine whose age is around 50 years. The wine is aged in barrels, 40% of which are new.
