95 Points Decanter
The Chaumes from Méo is very consistent; the 2022, however, is particularly good. The black plum and cherry fruit is more forward and pronounced than it has seemed in recent years, and the palate has impressive depth and density of extract. The tannins are firm but not astringent, and the finish lingers on the palate. Méo's holdings here are extensive – two parcels total over two hectares, lying just below Malconsorts. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with fairly firm extraction before ageing in cask (half new).

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru is matured in 60% new barrels. Dark berry fruit commingles with light forest floor and graphite aromas, though it unfurls slowly in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Very pure. A light Premier Cru, well-balanced and tensile with an elegant, transparent finish. Fine, though not necessarily long-term.
