Domaine Meo Camuzet
Domaine Méo-Camuzet is a wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. It produces some of the most celebrated wines from the Côte d'Or from a range of grand cru vineyards, including Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton and Echézeaux. Most of Méo-Camuzet's wines are made from Pinot Noir and are known for their delicate aromatic concentration.
 
The founder of the estate was Etienne Camuzet, an early-20th Century politician based in Paris, who offered parts of his estate to a variety of sharecroppers to farm. Eventually, it came into the hands of Jean-Nicholas Méo in 1986, who realized that the extensive sharecropping meant that only a small portion of vines was under the domaine's control. He set out a long-term strategy to regain the plots from the sharecroppers who were currently working them, intending to eventually have estate-grown fruit and bottle under his label, Méo-Camuzet.
 
One of these landholders was iconic Burgundy producer Henri Jayer. He had farmed the domaine's land to bottle under his label for about 40 years. He retired in 1988 and helped to advise Jean-Nicholas on the reacquisition of his vines. Méo-Camuzet now has 14 hectares (35 acres) of vines, including a part of the Cros Parantoux Premier Cru site, which was made famous by Jayer.
