Meo Camuzet Frere et Soeurs, Fixin

Had at Keen's steakhouse in NYC with Liv and my parents for the birthday. A regal wine - bearing the 'x factor' of Meo, but in their village Fixin wine. Nose was sun drenched and dried strawberry and light red cherry, with lifted burgundy turned earth, violet, white truffle/vanilla pod and some baking spice. Finish confirms the nose with a long-lasting finish. Medium / low acid with tannins present, but integrated quite well after a 60-minute decant. This wine is …

Rhöne vibes. Very powerful, dark fruit. Maybe just too young. It was better after 5 hour decant.

2019 vintage

Really well made regional burgundy. This should drink fine for the next 3 years, but probably doesn't get better from here. Forest floor, dark strawberry, and earth. This went really well with smoked pork ribs.

2013 vintage

Very concentrated black fruit and fraises écrasées... Powerful concentration, sweet fraises écrasées...

2019 vintage

Rating: 4,0/5,0.

Last tasted January 2022. This keeps getting better and better. Really lovely. I suspect it will age beautifully so hands off the remaining bottles for a year or two. 2016 is a very rewarding vintage

2016 vintage

醒酒一个小时，淡宝石红偏紫色，闻香有明显的带梗发酵半二氧化碳浸渍的梗味，泡泡糖和花香，一些碾碎的红果和草莓糖的香气，淡淡石灰气息，香料感，还能闻到一点酒精感，入口酸度高，单宁紧致，颗粒十分细腻，酒液甜美，紫罗兰和草莓糖的香气，些许泥土气息，后段香料辛辣，甜美过后收尾有点苦。余味是红果和花香。酒太新，感觉没有到适饮期，还没有太多发展，但喝起来有着不错的浓郁度，香气很像博若莱，入口比博若莱要甜美很多，可能是因为刚刚喝了 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Barolo Riserva 又开这瓶，差距太大，也一定程度上影响到我对这支酒的感觉，我觉得它实在有些过甜，甚至甜腻了，果实非常成熟，有点果酱感，导致喝起来有些缺乏结构感和深度，但是用来饭桌上干杯是非常愉快的，也许适当降低酒温口感还要更好些。

This wine was a disappointment. At this price point, one is allowed to expect more. Quite muffled nose with cherry and some musty tones that were a sad excuse for sous bois added to the disappointment. Palate with similar notes. Finishes short. Drink up.

2013 vintage

Light ruby with touches of garnet. Warm aromas of roses, dried cranberries, bouquet garni, toasted almonds. Fresh red berry fruit on the palate in a vibrant aromatic acid frame, a light crisp tannic bight, light body, long finish with lilting aromatics at the back. 13.0% alcohol.

2013 vintage

Opened for c2 hours before drinking A lovely Fixin from a great producer Good value

2016 vintage

Light wine with cassis and earthy notes. Paired well with a lamb chop stew

2016 vintage

Pale to medium garnet. Subtle complex aromas of dark berry, sourdough crust, dried flower infusion, a hint of tobacco, an element of brightness. Dark cherries on the palate in a strict acid frame, unusually firm tannins for a pinot, emerging aromatics in the long winding finish. Flashes of light and dark, mysterious, quite lovely with zucchini tomato gratin a la Elizabeth David.

2013 vintage

In a restaurant Very good pinot Intense color Mid length

2013 vintage

Cv. Pale ruby. Roasted cherries, cola (almost coffee bean), earthy ashiness and a little gamey. Tightly wound, grippy tannins and concentrated. Drinking real nice

2013 vintage

Light red. Vivid raspberry and game. Light weight but good concentration and palate impression. Very bright, tart cranberry fruit, some licorice, and good soil on the finish. Really good Fixin.

2013 vintage

Nice bright red fruits with ample weight on the palate. Too pricey for the quality level.

2013 vintage

Good solid earthy pinot, a bit sharper than usual but a good "value" Meo and still pretty well balanced

2013 vintage

Certainly more substance here than in the Bourgogne, and very Fixin. Plenty of stuffing, lots of ripe, smoky berry fruit and a touch of game, with brisk acids that make the whole package dynamic for all its brawn.

2013 vintage

Nose of mild red fruit with lots of acid, finishing with a bit of earth. Pours a clear light red. Palate opens with cranberry and strong acid and closes with earth; the middle is quite mild. Tannins are extremely well integrated; mouthfeel is light. Earthy finish lasts an exceptionally long time. May have benefited from a decanting.

2008 vintage

Very nice Burgundy perfect to drink now and can hold for some more years. Good acidity with a sweet core of red fruits.

2008 vintage

Meo Camuzet barrel tasting with Jean-Nicolas : Bright fruit, minerality - clear Fixin character. Certainly enjoyable.

2013 vintage

Som mange andre 2008'ere begynner denne å drikke godt allerede nå. Fixin er typisk den "friskeste" og mest syrlige av Meo sine viner (hvis man kan bruke slike ord om en produsent som typisk lage "søte" viner). Helt ok og MYE bedre enn tilsvarende vin fra 2007.

2008 vintage

Frisk og leskende. Noe jordlige og rustikt, men helt glatte tanniner. En god og enkel vin.

2008 vintage

La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) (Pied-á-Terre) : Darkest and ripest nose so far with beautiful notes of manure (yes, I said beautiful), dark cherries and raspberries and little bit of barnyard funk as well. In the mouth there’s plenty of depth and structure with sappy red fruits, excellent acidity and fine yet approachable tannins. Well balanced. I really liked this. Drinking well right now and will cruise for several years further. Excellent.

2002 vintage

Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Pied-â-Terre Bistro - Vancouver, BC) : Super stinky on the nose with a blast of manure/outhouse up front, along with some red cherries, barn, kirsch, tar, and rich dark fruits. While still quite funky, the stank dissipates on the palate displaying some black pepper spice, red cherries, and some herbal notes. A nice underlying backbone of acidity balances well with the crisp yet rounded tannin. Medium length finish ending on notes of barn and red …

2002 vintage

Klar, rubinrød. Ung nese med granateple, bringebær, jordbær og lett streif av solbær. Svakt nøttepreg? Slank og saftig frukt med frisk syre. (Ble drukket ved siden av Morey Saint Denis i samme årgang og produsent. Fixin fremstod da noe mørkere og med tettere frukt på nese. Samt at MSD var mer rødbærsdrevet. Ellers svært jevne.)

2008 vintage

Deep purple. Medium legs. Cherry, juniper, and duck breast nose. Rustic red fruit, black pepper, and musk. Moderate finish. Drinking well now, with dinner.

2002 vintage

Aromas of rasberry, sour cherries and foest fruit. More ripe and darker fruit notes than the fresher '07. Lacking substance to go all the way, but a very decent wine nevertheless. Good freshness and food friendly, but very smooth tannins.

2008 vintage

Similar to last note, showing a tad better with more earthy exotic notes, yum!

2008 vintage

Nice earthy licorice aromatics, with good bing cherry and ultra ripe strawberry swirling in and out. A bit leaner on the palate, but a refreshing good food wine nonetheless.

2008 vintage

buttery and veggy on nose. GSM. Too young now

2008 vintage

From the négoce arm of the house, which shouldn't make a huge difference since Méo oversees the process from vine treatment on. Color was a cloudy medium ruby red with no bricking. Some earthiness on the nose along with red fruits and a hint of spice. On the tongue it again shows young: red fruits, tart acidity with a lively play on the palate (Dawn says zip). Good balance and cleansing finish. Drinking well now (bring on the '02s?). No …

2002 vintage

This has the unmistakable gamey and rustic notes I associate with Fixin, but I sense a hesitation on the part of the winemaker to embrace them fully. A 2002 Clos Marion Fixin I had recently was enthusiastically slummy, whereas here you get the sense the wine is trying to be something more elegant, and failing; most obviously, it falls over completely on the finish. Nevertheless it is still a quality and multilayered effort, but short of what it could have …

2002 vintage

Medium ruby with a slight bricking at the edges. Floral, spicy nose with black fruits, sage and loamy earth. Full and rather fruit driven in the mouth with sweet black fruit and oak spice flavors dominating. Nicely balanced by harmonious acids. The oak peaks out again in the finish. This might be just a tad too extracted for its own good. Today this is rich and nicely balanced but I worry that too much further aging will leave this top …

2002 vintage

Medium garnet. Nose has lost most of its primary fruit aromas and gone towards iron, leather and sous bois with underlying nuances of red currant jelly, violets and pepper. Elegant and precise in the mouth with mineral driven red fruit flavors and a touch of sweet wood. Tannins are present but fully ripe and the acidity is still fresh and lively. The currant flavor echos on a finish that shows just a trace of heat. Nice wine and starting to …
