Domaine Méo-Camuzet - Vosne-Romanée 1er cru - Les Chaumes - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

From a 2-hectare plot with vines approaching 50 years of age, the 2017 red Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes is a firm, broadly spiced, fruity and floral wine that is beginning its long aging journey. A very carefully-crafted, well-calibrated wine, whose great volume, buoyed by ageing, is beginning to loosen up nicely. It's still in the running!

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Part of the vines planted in the delicate 1950s, the other part in the 1970s. Low-intervention winemaking. Aged in barrels.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Veal sweetbreads with black truffle jus, spit-roasted free-range poultry, gibelotte rabbit, beef cheek with pinot noir, aged Burgundy cheeses.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2033, and even longer for enthusiasts.
