Reviews & Scores
The 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées from Méo-Camuzet is superb, offering up an alluring nose of sweet black fruit, exotic spices, rich soil and subtle espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and expansive, with grand cru depth and dimension, its fine-grained tannins entirely enveloped in luscious dark fruit, its acids cool and controlled. The Aux Brûlées is routinely one of Jean-Nicolas Méo's finest wines, and the 2009 vintage is no exception. - WA

Deep red-ruby. Deep aromas of smoke, minerals and Oriental spices; showing its oak today. Juicy blueberry and spice flavors seem rather clenched today, owing to the wine's very firm acid/tannin spine. Less elegant and seamless than the Echezeaux, but this still has the essential silkiness of the year. Finishes very pure and long, with a youthful reticence. Should be a beauty. - VM

A broad-based nose combines upper and lower register fruit aromas, particularly highly spiced cassis and black berry liqueur with plenty of secondary nuances that include violet, wet stone, anise, clove and earth, most of which are also reflected by the extract-rich, full and serious tautly muscular flavors that are shaped by the firmly tannic spine and simply stunning length. As it typically is, this is a very powerful wine that should age effortlessly for years. (Drink starting 2024) - BH
