Histoire du domaine
The estate’s history is linked to Étienne Camuzet (1867–1946), a winegrower, mayor of Vosne-Romanée and Member of Parliament for the Côte-d’Or, who gradually built up a substantial portfolio of vineyards in the early 20th century. In particular, he acquired the Château du Clos de Vougeot in 1920 and retained three hectares of vines within the clos after the château was sold to the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in November 1944. On his death in 1946, his daughter Maria Noirot-Camuzet inherited the estate. Having no children of her own, she bequeathed it in 1959 to her nephew Jean Méo, who was then working in General de Gaulle’s office. Jean Méo maintained the sharecropping agreements, notably with the Faurois and Tardy families as well as with Henri Jayer. The estate adopted the name Méo-Camuzet in 1981, and its first bottles marketed under this label date from 1983. In 1984, Jean Méo gradually handed over the management to his son Jean-Nicolas, who moved to Vosne-Romanée in 1989 after studying business management and oenology. As all the sharecroppers ceased their activities in 2008, Jean-Nicolas Méo has since been managing all the estate’s vineyards. A separate wine-trading company, Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs, was established in the early 2000s with the same family shareholders. In 2025, the estate acquired 3.4 hectares of Pinot Noir in Volnay and Pommard, bringing the total area under its direct management to approximately 21.4 hectares.
Aux Boudots
Aux Boudots is an officially recognized climat of the AOC Nuits-Saint-Georges, authorized to use the "premier cru" designation. It occupies the northernmost part of the communal vineyard, bordering Vosne-Romanée, below Les Damodes and in the immediate vicinity of Aux Malconsorts. A professional sheet specifically describes its surface as very stony. The general geological context of the Nuits hillside combines Jurassic limestones, marls, and clayey scree deposits, but these characteristics are not individualized for the entire climat by the official source consulted.

The AOC Nuits-Saint-Georges was recognized on September 11, 1936. A list of climats authorized to benefit from the "premier cru" designation was recognized in 1943, based notably on the crus distinguished in the 19th century; Aux Boudots appears in the current regulatory list of these climats.
