Domaine Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Brûlées

Vosne-Romanée, France

One of Vosne-Romanée's finest 1er crus from the late Henri Jayer's original mentor estate — Pinot Noir from the Les Brûlées parcel's red clay-limestone, with the characteristic iron-spice mineral of Vosne. Red cherry, raspberry, iron, violets, cedar, spice, and the magnificent depth that develops over 15-20 years. The entry point to Méo-Camuzet's extraordinary Vosne portfolio and one of the Côte de Nuits's finest premier crus.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Wild duck and Vosne-Romanée — the wine's iron mineral and cherry bridges the wild duck's richness; cèpes' earth mirrors the wine's mineral depth; cabbage provides a savoury counterpoint to the fruit complexity
• main: The great French luxury preparation and Vosne's finest premier cru — the wine's iron-spice complexity bridges the truffle's depth; foie gras's richness meets the premier cru's mineral precision; pomme soufflée provides textural contrast
