Domaine Méo-Camuzet, situated in the charming village of Vosne-Romanée in the esteemed Côte de Nuits region, stands as a revered wine producer. Renowned for crafting some of the most celebrated wines in the Côte d'Or, this prestigious estate boasts a collection of grand cru vineyards, including the esteemed Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton and Echézeaux. The heart and soul of Méo-Camuzet lies in its devotion to the Pinot Noir grape, which forms the foundation of their exceptional wines. These wines are revered for their delicately concentrated aromas, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication of the winemaking team. The origins of this esteemed estate can be traced back to Etienne Camuzet, a respected politician of the early 20th century who resided in Paris. Etienne offered portions of his estate to various sharecroppers for cultivation. It was not until 1986 when Jean-Nicholas Méo took charge of the estate that a strategic vision was set in motion to reclaim the vineyards from the sharecroppers. Jean-Nicholas aimed to regain control over the land, ultimately leading to the production of estate-grown fruit and bottling under the Méo-Camuzet label. An instrumental figure in this reacquisition process was the iconic Burgundy producer, Henri Jayer. For approximately four decades, Jayer had worked the domaine's land under his own label. Following his retirement in 1988, Jayer graciously provided guidance and advice to Jean-Nicholas during the process of reclaiming the vines. Notably, Méo-Camuzet now proudly holds 14 hectares (35 acres) of vineyards, including a portion of the revered Cros Parantoux Premier Cru site, made famous by Jayer himself. While Méo-Camuzet strives to farm its vineyards as organically as possible, the estate has deliberately chosen not to pursue certification. This decision allows the winemakers the freedom to adapt their approach based on the unique characteristics of each vintage. In addition to their prestigious grand cru wines, Méo-Camuzet also produces a selection of premier cru wines from vineyards along the Côte de Nuits. Furthermore, they offer a range of village-level and Bourgogne wines, ensuring a diverse and exciting collection.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a renowned wine producer located in Meursault, Burgundy. The estate is celebrated for crafting exceptional and highly sought-after white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. In addition to Meursault, the domaine also owns vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. One of the notable features of Domaine des Comtes Lafon is its deep and cold cellars, which are the most extensive in Burgundy. These cellars foster the production of some of Burgundy's greatest dry white wines. Dominique Lafon, the leading producer in Meursault, is responsible for creating wines of astonishing depth and complexity while maintaining superb balance. The history of the estate dates back to 1869 when the Boch family built the house and cellar at Clos de la Barre. However, it was Comte Jules Lafon, who married Mademoiselle Marie Boch in 1894, that truly established the domaine. Comte Jules Lafon had the foresight to acquire exceptionally well-situated plots in the finest vineyards of Meursault, Volnay,and even a treasured piece of Le Montrachet in 1919. Dominique Lafon took over the estate in 1985, inheriting a domaine that already had a reputation for outstanding white wines, as well as the potential for good reds. When he assumed control, most of the vineyards were leased out on a share-cropping basis. It was only towards the end of the 1980s that Lafon managed to reclaim all the vineyards, allowing him full responsibility for their cultivation. Since then, the white wines have consistently ranked among the best in Burgundy, while the reds have achieved top-tier status since 1989. The domaine's holdings are not only in the finest vineyards of Meursault and Volnay, but they are also strategically situated within these vineyards. Today, the domaine follows biodynamic principles, eschewing herbicides and chemical sprays in their viticultural practices. All the wines undergo barrel fermentation, with new oak used for the premier crus and higher. After malolactic fermentation, only one racking takes place and the wines are bottled nearly two years after the vintage. This late bottling is one of the latest in Burgundy. The wines of Domaine des Comtes Lafon represent the pinnacle of White Burgundy, characterized by superlative fruit, power, complexity and perfect harmony. The red wines, including those from Volnay and Monthélie, also showcase exceptional quality. Les Duresses is a premier cru vineyard situated on the western side of the Monthélie appellation in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. Spanning 6.7 hectares, the vineyard primarily cultivates Pinot Noir with a small portion dedicated to Chardonnay on the upper slope. Bordering its counterpart in Auxey-Duresses, the vineyard benefits from a terroir composed of pebbly marl with clay, particularly lower down the slope. The presence of Argovian limestone in the soil contributes to the minerality found in wines from Les Duresses. The vineyard's steep hillside location, facing east, grants the vines morning sunlight while sheltering them from the intense afternoon sun, resulting in a relatively cool mesoclimate. The Monthélie portion of Les Duresses produces predominantly red wines, while a few notable white examples can also be found. The wines from this premier cru vineyard are known for their delicate nature. The Auxey-Duresses section of Les Duresses receives more sunlight, leading to slightly less delicate wines compared to its Monthélie counterpart. Les Duresses offers a unique expression of Burgundian terroir, showcasing the distinct characteristics of its location and soil composition. From red to white, the wines produced from this premier cru vineyard continue to captivate wine enthusiasts with their finesse and complexity. The Domaine Comtes Lafon Monthelie Les Duresses 2020 is an exquisite red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of this renowned producer. It offers a ripe and nuanced blackberry and bramble fruit character, with a pure pinot nose that exudes freshness and vitality. The texture of the wine is exuberant and youthful, displaying a thick, textured deep raspberry fruit on the palate. It has a medium to full-bodied profile, with a good core of fruit and moderate tannins that provide structure. On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of dark cherries, berries, spices and loamy soil. The palate is layered and concentrated, with terrific depth and energy. It reveals a touch of extra concentration and ripeness from the vintage, with a rich and delicious blend of black raspberries, fruitcake, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a hint of violets. The wine finishes with a long, tangy and complex finish, showcasing the concentrated effect from desiccated berries that were prevalent in this vintage. This red wine is not intended for long ageing, but it is highly enjoyable in its youth. It offers a great balance of fruit weight, freshness and persistence. With its depth, concentration and complex profile, it is a wine that showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of Domaine Comtes Lafon.

The Domaine de La Pousse d'Or is distinguished by its 5 grands crus, 11 premier crus including 3 monopolies, in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Offering you the purest expression of exceptional terroirs has been the Domaine's obsession for centuries. Today, work in the vineyards in biodynamics, the long and gentle bio-controlled vinification, accompanied by aging on lees, contribute to the exceptional balance, finesse and richness, of the estate.
