Meo’s 2007 Clos Vougeot smells of smoke, resin, rich beef stock, maple syrup, and both blackberry and blueberry preserves, all elements that follow on an expansive, lush, decidedly sweet palate, yet one that preserves a fresh, juicy component and a transparency to stony mineral notes and spicy nuances often missing in this vintage. This harmonious, multi-layered Clos Vougeot could, I suspect, be enjoyed anytime over at least the next 8-10 years. Most interestingly in view of its strong showing and element of freshness, Nicolas Meo says that this was among his few 2007s that was picked at higher sugar than the corresponding 2008. - David Schildknecht
