Meo-Camuzet Richebourg Grand Cru Cote de Nuits 2017
96 Decanter
" The combined area of Méo-Camuzet's two parcels of Richebourg add up to a more than serviceable 0.35ha. Entirely aged in new wood, this is a rich, powerful and ambitious wine that needs time to integrate. The tannins are softer than they were in 2016, but this still has plenty of backbone as well as supporting freshness and minerality. The result is the richest and most powerful wine at the domaine in 2017. Drinking Window 2025 - 2035

"The 2017 Méo-Camuzet Richebourg is a superb bottle in the making. The bouquet is pure, refined and impressively complex out of the blocks, delivering a mix of plums, red and black cherries, Vosne spice tones, chocolate, a lovely base of soil, a hint of mustard seed and cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and utterly refined in personality, with a sappy core, lovely soil signature, fine-grained tannins and a very, very long, tangy and complex finish. Great juice." 2028-2080+

"This too is firmly reduced though the supporting wood is less visible. There is impressive intensity to the equally sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a gorgeous mouthfeel thanks once again to the plentiful sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale. Like the Cros, this very stylish and classy effort will also need to develop better depth though the underlying material is present for that to occur."
