Méo Camuzet

The first traces of the Méo-Camuzet estate date back to the 17th century, when the estate was already used for viticulture. In the 19th century, the Méo family turned toward education and more intellectual professions than vineyard work. The vineyards remained in the family over the generations but were not heavily used. Jean Méo, representing the third generation, pursued prestigious studies and became a Polytechnician and Engineer.

In 1946, Jean Méo inherited the Vosne-Romanée estate from his uncle, Etienne Camuzet. Aware of the potential of this land, he decided to exploit it to its full value. While continuing his vibrant career in Paris, Jean Méo managed the estate from a distance. Understanding that French wines were highly appreciated internationally, he began to develop international sales. In 1981, Jean Méo renamed the estate ‘Méo-Camuzet’ in honor of his uncle.

In 1989, the fourth generation took over the estate. Jean Nicolas Méo, trained by Henri Jayer and Christian Faurois, developed his own winemaking techniques and simultaneously grew the company's image and distribution channels, which were reserved for top restaurants, wine merchants, and select individuals. This success led to the addition of his two sisters, Isabelle and Angeline (daughters of Jean Méo), to the company in 2008, when they created a wine trading business with more affordable products to meet demand.

The Méo-Camuzet estate has four Grand Cru red AOCs: Richebourg, Echezeaux, Corton, and Clos de Vougeot. Additionally, the company holds Village AOCs, including Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Fixin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis, Marsannay, and Gevrey-Chambertin.
