Domaine Meo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot 2011 Current Live in spite of the serious

in spite of the serious structure and just a hint of wood from 36-months maturation in an old barrel

A mixture of red and black fruit with fine acidity and a healthy sprinkling of white pepper and sage toward the persistent finish — the whole wine poised between Volnay's ethereal tendencies and the structural seriousness that separates a great premier cru from a merely elegant one

with the Chardonnay of the Corton-Charlemagne appellation surprising here by its concentration

on schist and clay-limestone soils — one of the most stunning and singular Chenin Blanc vineyards in the Loire Valley

The bouquet expresses an infinite delicacy on buttery tones — baked apple

Domaine Meo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot 2011 Current Live in spite of the seriousProducer tasting notes: (2011 vintage) "An early starting but fresh season; it caused us to fear for the whole of our harvest, but ended up producing very charming wines: very velvety, fresh black fruit aromas, pleasant colour and a low degree of alcohol. This vintage has a lot going for it. Today, its charm and drinkability are beginning to show up, the vintage begins to be accessible, even if certain wines remain a little tight." Domaine Meo Camuzet
