How big would you characterize the quality gap between the DRC and Meo Camuzet? Larger or smaller than expected? I think many look at this and (like me) see a glimpse of affordability with Meo Camuzet that is just not there for DRC.

Hi Chris,

I thought the Clos de Vougeot stacked up really well and it wasn’t outclassed in the company. We did the two Meo wines together, and most at the table preferred the Brulees. It was certainly so sensual and giving. I preferred the CdV and when we went back to the Meo wines after the DRC’s the CdV was the better of the two (in my less than humble opinion).

Meo’s CdV is expensive but it is seriously good. I reckon people shy away from CdV because it is a large Grand Cru and there are some irregularities, but Meo’s is true vin de guarde and still good value for its quality. The 2017 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot Près le Cellier is stonkingly good if you can find it.

Cheers
Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy! We occasionally get the Meo wines through around here at fair prices. Will plan to source some next time around.
