Awards/Ratings
Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) 90; Vinous 88-90; praised by Jasper Morris for purity and texture

Tasting Note
Crisp, lemon- and lime-driven Chardonnay with pressed yellow flowers, orange blossom, wet-stone minerality, chalky texture and mouthwatering acidity; medium-bodied with a clean, elegant finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast chicken, grilled sea bass, mushroom risotto, soft cow's-milk cheeses. Asian: sushi and sashimi, miso-glazed cod, lightly spiced Thai fish curry, steamed ginger scallops.

Production Method
Hand-harvested grapes; de-stemming when appropriate, pre-fermentation maceration and extended élevage in oak (portion new oak) producing structured, ageworthy whites.

Vineyard Info
Domaine Méo-Camuzet: historic family estate based in Vosne-Romanée; Jean-Nicolas Méo modernized winemaking while retaining traditional Burgundian parcels. Estate recognized for meticulous viticulture and long élevage.
