Critics Ratings

'Medium-deep red ruby. Perfumed aromas of black cherry and flowers. Fine grained and vibrant in the mouth, with nicely delinated flavors of black fruits, licorice and orange peel. Rich but dry and classic, with lovely balancing acidity and a very long finish. Built to age.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Mar 2005)

‘A discreet background touch of wood frames an earthy, slightly gamy nose that leads to ripe, rich, full-bodied and moderately dense flavors that display the classic young Clos de Vougeot quality of an austere backward finish. I like the tannins here as they're finer than usual and this finishes with real freshness and verve. The best Méo Clos de Vougeot since the spectacular '85 and every bit as good as the '05 if distinctly different in character.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Aug 2015)

‘Concentrated black cherry and black currant aromas and flavors mark this rich, full-bodied Pinot, whose purity of fruit is matched by a phalanx of ripe, integrated tannins. The flavor intensity is almost kirschlike. Fine length, but needs time to resolve its tannins.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Dec 2004)
