One of the shining lights of Burgundy, Méo-Camuzet was a sideline for its preoccupied owners for many years. But since the 1980s it has risen to become highly sought after on the primary and secondary markets
Located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, domaine Méo-Camuzet is one of the undisputed stars of Burgundy. Yet until as recently as 1983, the majority of Méo-Camuzet’s holdings were leased to other winemakers, and most of the wine was sold to négociants.
The domaine was founded at the close of the 19th century by Étienne Camuzet, whose passion for grape growing was somewhat eclipsed by his commitments as full-time politician, as mayor of Vosne-Romanée and deputy of the Côte d’Or. Nevertheless, over the course of several years, he acquired large numbers of vineyards, including the vineyards of the Clos du Vougeot château.
