A wine of real terroir and character, this betrays its lofty origins in its fresh, alpine, red berry fruit profile. Brilliantly vivid and crisp, so pure and fresh as well as offering ripeness and substance. From a parcel that produces some of the lowest yields on the Meo-Camuzet estate, these small millerande berries produce intense wines. This is from one of the higher Echezeaux parcels in Les Rouges du Bas lieu dit, giving wines of finesse and pronounced acidity.
It is incredible to think that up for many years the Domaine was selling its entire production in bulk to négociants. These years of wasted potential were put to rights when the domaine produced its first bottling in 1983 under the guidance of Jean Méo. He was succeeded by his son Jean-Nicolas in 1985 who, by 1988, had taken back plots being leased out elsehwere. Henri Jayer, who had long farmed some of the family's parcels, mentored Jean-Nicolas for several years. Key features of winemaking here are de-stalking of grapes (but where necessary stalks are added back in to fermentations depending on vintage and vineyard) pre-fermentation maceration and ageing in 50-100% new oak depending on the wine. These are intense, deep, silkily-textured Burgundies that demand time.
