Nuits-Saint-Georges, 1er Cru, 2024

A first for the domaine, a rare ‘cuvée rond’ that sees the two emblematic Meo-Camuzet plots of Boudots and Murgers brought together in a single cuvée. “We didn’t really want to do it. We vinified separately and barrelled down separately, but assembled, it just tasted better” assistant winemaker Nacha Navarra explained. In the end, the blend comprises 60% Boudots with 40% Murgers, and it’s a well-mannered blend that offers hints of Nuits power and stature below a mix of vivid red and dark fruit, sweet earth and voluptuous tannins. At once sophisticated and unhurried, with touches of savoury stony saltiness towards the finish.
