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.
Les Chaumes (Vosne Romanée)
Les Chaumes is a Premier Cru classified climat of the Vosne-Romanée appellation, located south of the village, below Aux Malconsorts and above Clos des Réas. Sources specifically dedicated to the climat indicate an eastern exposure and an altitude of around 250 meters. The soils are described as moderately deep, fairly stony, and composed of marly-limestone materials. The specifications more generally describe the Vosne-Romanée sector as a gently sloping hillside, with soils resulting from the erosion of Jurassic limestones and, at the foot of the slope, Tertiary conglomerates.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Chaumes is among the climats of Vosne-Romanée officially granted the right to the "premier cru" designation. This collective recognition of the appellation's premiers crus dates back to 1943 and is based on the classification of Côte crus established in 1860. No older autonomous history specific to this climat was found in the institutional sources consulted.
