2019 Méo-Camuzet Ladoix Gréchons Blanc

Jean-Nicolas Méo is widely regarded as one of the very best producers of red Burgundy. His wines have a unique style. They possess a sensual velvet structure, complexity, richness, depth and an enchanting perfume. They are strongly reminiscent of the wines of the recently deceased Henri Jayer (according to many the greatest winemaker in the modern history of Burgundy). This is not surprising, Jean Méo learned the trade from Jayer and he was associated with Méo-Camuzet as a consultant for a long time.

The Méo-Camuzet Ladoix is highly recommended. The vineyard is located in Les Gréchons and is therefore not a premier cru appellation and that makes a difference in price, but certainly not in quality. The wine has beautifully balanced aromas of lemon oil, lime zest, crushed mint and wet stones. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, chalky and phenolic, with a tart, mouthwatering profile. Beautifully balanced and structurally refined, this wine has a very long life and is highly recommended.
