The 2015 Murgers chez Méo is one of the ripest premier crus in the cellar this year, coming at a full 13.9 percent octane, but it shows absolutely no signs of sur maturité on either the nose or the palate. The bouquet is pure, complex and flamboyant, as it offers up scents of sappy black cherries and dark berries, espresso, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, gamebird and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with fine-grained tannins, superb focus and grip and a very, very long, vibrant and utterly refined finish. I remember well drinking the 1989 and 1990 Méo-Camuzet wines in their youth and this is remarkably similar! (Drink between 2023-2075)

(90-93) This too is quite firmly reduced. By contrast there is both good freshness and verve to the rich, full-bodied and generously proportioned flavors that possess excellent power and punch on the very ripe, suave and ever-so-slightly warm finale. Note that unlike many vintages for this wine, it should be approachable after only 6 to 8 years.
