2011 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Corton Perrieres Grand Cru

Pro Reviews

Vinous Media (VM)

Medium red. Enticing high-pitched aromas of red cherry, rose petal, spices and crushed rock. Tightly wound and firmly structured but already shows lovely floral and stony character in the mouth. Serious, uncompromisingly dry Corton with a pure, long, intense finish. A bit strict today but long on potential. This very stony vineyard of 50+-year-old vines yielded just under 30 hectoliters per hectare in 2011.

Burghound (BH)

A marvelously fresh if restrained nose displays a cool mélange of various red berry fruit, plenty of wet stone and discreet spice and earth nuances. There is also an abundance of minerality present on the superbly intense, indeed almost painfully so, medium weight plus flavors that conclude in an explosively long, well-balanced and austere finale. This is terrific though note that plenty of patience will be requisite.
