Richebourg 2017 from two plots in Vosne-Romanée

The Richebourg of Domaine Méo-Camuzet comes from two plots, Les Richebourg (0.0462 ha) and Les Verroilles ou Richebourg (0.3061 ha). The larger plot lies just north of Cros Parantoux. This is the 2017 vintage, sold as a 0.75 L bottle. It is a red Pinot Noir and a Grand Cru of Vosne-Romanée.

The estate behind the 2017 Richebourg

The estate is based in Vosne-Romanée, at 11, rue des Grands Crus. It descends from the holdings of Étienne Camuzet, who was mayor of Vosne-Romanée and left the estate to his daughter in 1946. After her death in 1959 it passed to Jean Méo, and it was renamed Méo-Camuzet in 1981.

Henri Jayer farmed most of the vineyards under a sharecropping agreement from 1945 until 1987. The estate’s own Richebourg had its first commercial vintage in 1985, and Jayer made the Richebourg vintages from 1985 to 1988. Jean-Nicolas Méo, Jean’s son, runs the estate today.

Méo-Camuzet in the cellar: 15 to 18 months in oak

The estate hand-harvests and sorts the grapes at the vine. Whole-cluster fermentation is used selectively, depending on the vintage. Wines age 15 to 18 months in oak barrels, with new oak between 50 and 100% depending on the cuvée. The wine is bottled without filtration.
