Hailing from the esteemed Domaine Méo-Camuzet in Vosne-Romanée’s iconic Côte de Nuits region, this 2020 Pinot Noir offers a masterclass in Burgundy’s elegance and complexity. Crafted from premier cru vines in one of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs, this wine captivates with its harmonious balance of power and finesse.

The nose bursts with a perfumed bouquet of dark cherry and wild violet, deepened by hints of blueberry and subtle cassis notes. Over time, floral aromas of rose petal emerge alongside a nuanced spice undertone of clove and anise—a hallmark of Vosne-Romanée’s signature character. On the palate, velvety tannins glide across the tongue, supported by vibrant acidity that lifts flavors of ripe black cherry and saline minerality. Its medium-bodied structure marries silkiness with depth, culminating in a lingering finish that’s both polished and inviting.

Acclaimed by critics including Vinous (92-94 points) and Wine Advocate (91-93 points), this Les Chaumes stands out for its poised elegance and potential for aging. Burghound praises its plush texture and “lavishly rich” flavors, noting its unique blend of power and refinement—a testament to Méo-Camuzet’s meticulous winemaking.

Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a benchmark Burgundy Pinot Noir, this 2020 vintage showcases why Vosne-Romanée remains a pinnacle of red wine craftsmanship. With 14% alcohol and a saline-driven finish, it pairs beautifully with rich game dishes or as a standalone sip for those who appreciate complexity without heaviness. A rare gem from one of Burgundy’s top estates—ideal for cellaring or celebrating special moments.
