As of 1985, Domaine Meo-Camuzet began selling under their own label directly from the cellars. After 1988, they progressively took charge of the vineyards as the contacts with their vintners expired. Currently, Jean-Nicolas Méo, son of Jean Méo, took responsibility and is now in charge of technical and administrative matters. He is helped in these tasks by Henri Jayer who advises him on winemaking and by vineyard manager Christian Faurois.

Their objective is to make wines with structure and delicacy - with concentration as well as charm. The balance of a wine is essential; refinement and complexity are the hallmarks of great wines and represent the desired goals throughout the wine making and ageing processes. Of course, this notion cannot be separated from that of terroir.

Various procedures are implemented to carry out this objective: vine-growing techniques that try to favor the natural balances, reveal the terroir and keep yields in check, careful harvesting by hand, and sorting grapes prior to a winemaking procedure characterized by minimum interference. This encourages the freshness, the expression of the fruit and the personality of each wine rather than simple extraction. Maturing in barrels is a well-planned affair with an extensive use of new barrels; the wines are bottled by gravity not using filtration.​

This is all about finesse, the velvety texture embracing flavors of cherry, raspberry, earth, mineral and spice. The spice notes intensify, with sandalwood and green olive extending on the firmly structured, complex finish. Jam- packed with flavor and personality, this needs time. Best from 2023 through 2045. 775 cases made, 100 cases imported. — BS
