{"id":10442361356,"title":"2014 Domaine Meo Camuzet Pommard","handle":"pommard-2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than four centuries, the members of the Méo family have devoted themselves to growing vines and making wines. They came originally from the Burgundy village of Selongey, in the north of Côte d'Or, where today, even if the vines, alas, have disappeared, a pressing house, dating from the year 50 AD, bears witness to the presence there of Gallo-Roman winegrowers. From the 19th century onwards, the Méo children chose the course of study. The great-grandfather of Jean-Nicolas, for example, was a primary-school teacher, his grandfather graduated from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (civil engineering) and his father, Jean Méo, was a graduate of the École Polytechnique and an engineer in the Corps des Mines. Jean was later to be elected a Member of the European Parliament and sat on the Council of Paris. It was thanks to Jean Méo's mother, Marcelle Lamarche-Confuron, originating from an old winegrowing family in Vosne (with already a small activity as négociants), that the Méos came to settle in Vosne-Romanée.  As for the vines, it was the 20 hectares (50 acres) at the top of the Clos that were for sale ... Étienne Camuzet enlisted the help of his fellow winegrowers from Vosne-Romanée to acquire them. He would keep 3 hectares (7.5 acres) himself, immediately below the château. Domaine Méo-Camuzet bottles four astounding grands crus (Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet, and Échezeaux, with two more Cortons on the way), ten premier crus (from the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, and Fixin), several village wines, one Bourgogne Rouge, and only one white. Jean-Nicolas aims for balance and purity of fruit, which he accomplishes with terrific success. Though delicate and fine, even in their youth, the paradoxical concentration and intensity of these wines make them ideal for long cellar aging. These rare, stunning achievements are a Burgundy lover’s dream.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2017-04-23T18:16:07-04:00","created_at":"2017-04-23T18:16:08-04:00","vendor":"Domaine Meo Camuzet","type":"Red","tags":["2014","50-75","burgundy","domaine-meo-camuzet","france","red"],"price":7360,"price_min":7360,"price_max":7360,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":38289471820,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"139","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2014 Domaine Meo Camuzet Pommard","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":7360,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/finding-wine2.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/139.jpg?v=1492985768"],"featured_image":"\/\/finding-wine2.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/139.jpg?v=1492985768","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Pommard","id":257901494354,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1000,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/finding-wine2.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/139.jpg?v=1492985768"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/finding-wine2.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/139.jpg?v=1492985768","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than four centuries, the members of the Méo family have devoted themselves to growing vines and making wines.
