Domaine Méo Camuzet - Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru - Les Feusselottes 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 founder of the estate, 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 .
Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru Les Feusselottes is a trading wine from young and precocious vines. The name of the place means “the little pits” and the vineyard is actually located in a slight hollow in the ground in the center of the village between the two hillsides of Chambolle. The soil is shallow, which provides the mineral finish of this wine.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
