Together with its counterpart from Madame Leroy, this is probably the greatest wine from this cru. Méo inherited the vineyard parcel from the legendary Jayer and his Richebourg is in a class of its own because its characteristics are so immense. It has a bright and dense red color and the bouquet is an explosion of iodine sensations and those of ripe red fruit, blackberry and raspberry. The spice component is surprising, black pepper, tobacco and bark. The mouthfeel is where the wine comes into its own bringing together boldness and balance, a Nebbiolo-like tannic texture and extraordinary freshness. This is perhaps the greatest Méo Camuze I have ever tasted. Outstanding.
