2018 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc, Clos Saint-Philibert, Domaine Méo-Camuzet

Description

This vineyard was created by Jean-Nicolas in 1989 from poor, stony ground at the top of the hill, behind the trees above Echezeaux. It always has an energetic pure fruit-stone character. Fermented and aged in oak (15% new this year), and with 5% Pinot Blanc, it’s rich for a Hautes Côtes. Drink now to 2024.

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20
Pale, almost water-white and then very fresh and sleek. Lots of drive and quite enough ripe fruit. Very good for Hautes-Côtes. Drink 2019-2024jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2019)

A rather fruity nose combines notes of citrus and apple with those of spice and soft floral nuances. There is good verve to the delicious and reasonably well-detailed flavors that conclude in a mildly tangy, clean and dry finish. This should be accessible upon release.Drink now+burghound_com (Jun 2019)

This is always picked last at the domaine, such is its cool, lofty position above Vosne-Romanée. It's suitably pithy, bright and tangy, with 15% new wood adding some cinnamon spice to the stony citrus and lemongrass flavours.Drink 2019-2023Tim Atkin MW, Decanter.com (Oct 2018)

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
