Jean-Nicolas Meo, Meo-Camuzet

Jeanne-Marie de Champs, Domaines et Saveurs Collection

Sigel’s-Elite  (3209 N Fitzhugh)

Monday, February 27th     5-7pm

“Méo-Camuzet is one of the most celebrated domaines of the Côte d’Or, located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. The domaine boasts fourteen hectares of land in some of the most spectacular appellations and crus of Burgundy. Jean-Nicolas aims for balance and purity of fruit, which he accomplishes with terrific success, having called upon the resident expert, one of Burgundy’s greatest winemakers of all time, Henri Jayer, for guidance. Henri had spent over forty years farming parcels from Méo-Camuzet under his own label. For three years he mentored Jean-Nicolas, finally retiring in 1988. Though Jayer passed away in 2006, his legacy endures to this day. Though delicate and fine, even in their youth, the paradoxical concentration and intensity of these wines make them ideal for long cellar aging. These rare, stunning achievements are a Burgundy lover’s dream.” Kermit Lynch

“The 2009 red Burgundies have attracted considerable attention for their ripe, seductive personalities. Is all of the hype justified? In most cases it is. The 2009s are fleshy, generous wines that are impressive for their textural richness. It is a very even, consistent year across both the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits at all levels.” Robert Parker

Join us on Monday, February 27th from 5-7pm at Sigel’s-Elite (3209 N Fitzhugh) to meet and taste with one of Burgundy’s brightest stars, Jean-Nicolas Meo of Domaine Meo-Camuzet.  Jean-Nicolas, along with his importer Jeanne-Marie de Champs, will lead us through a tasting of a number of benchmark examples from the classic 2009 vintage.  Special pricing will be available for the remaining 2009 bottlings, as well as an offering of library releases from the Meo-Camuzet estate. For more information about this free tasting, please contact Jim Fleming at store04wine@sigels.com or 214/635-3162.
