GRAPE VARIETAL(S)

Pinot Noir

100% Pee-NO NWAR

Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.

Méo-Camuzet

Burgundy, france

The Méo-Camuzet estate consists of 14 hectares of some of Burgundy’s most prized vineyards, including six Grand Crus. Founded by Étienne Camuzet in 1902, for many years it was managed by sharecroppers. Eventually it was inherited by the Méo family, but it was not until 1985 that Jean-Nicolas Méo started to slowly reclaim the vineyards for domaine bottling.

To help guide his effort, Jean-Nicolas Méo called on none other than the late Henri Jayer, with whom he had an existing relationship from having farmed several of Jayer’s vineyards for his own wines. Jayer mentored him for three years before retiring in 1988. While Méo-Camuzet’s winemakers have changed, those early days under the leadership of Jayer helped set a blueprint for the estate’s future success.

The wines of Méo-Camuzet balance an intensity and concentration with a delicacy of flavors that unfold with time.
