Meo Camuzet Les Chaumes 2017 – Vineut

Reseña profesional

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes offers up appealing aromas of red cherries, cocoa nib, Asian spices and rose petal, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered palate with a tangy core of fruit, fine tannins that are a little emphasized by the wine’s recent racking, and a long, vibrant finish. It displays excellent energy for the site and should develop well in bottle. Longtime fans of Domaine Méo-Camuzet will be delighted by the 2017 vintage at this address, as the domaine has produced an attractive collection of charming, supple wines that are beautifully defined by site but which will also be unusually approachable out of the gates. While many of the wines had been racked not long before my tasting, they were still expressive, and I suspect they will prove even more satiny and gourmand in bottle. Méo began picking on September 6, finishing just over a week later. Like many others, he reports that the wines fleshed out considerably during élevage and is thinking of bottling them a little earlier than usual.
