93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a detailed, quite elegant bouquet of expressive wild strawberry, cassis and subtle violet aromas, Vosne-like in style. The mineral component becomes more palpable with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, rounded and even corpulent in the mouth, layers of lightly spiced red fruit merging with orange peel and brown spices toward the harmonious and quite persistent finish. This is a very finely crafted Clos de Vougeot from Méo-Camuzet. Drink: 2023-2043. (Jan 2022)"
94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "The Méos have two parcels inside the Clos, with the larger of them next to the château, totalling 3ha in all. This is a plush, ripe, substantially oaked wine with 80% new wood, lots of red berry sweetness and a chalky undertone. A wine that reflects its warm vintage. Drinking Window: 2024-2029. (Oct 2018)"
92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with an attractive bouquet of raspberries, red cherries, incense, dark chocolate and cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and pure with a comparatively open-knit profile for Méo's Clos Vougeot, though there is plenty of fine-grained structuring tannin held in reserve, concluding with a nicely focused but youthfully firm finish. (Jan 2019)"
93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "I always like the Méo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot, but my gut feeling is always that this is the one wine in the cellar that absolutely calls out for more 'one wine barrels' and less new oak. I just have this gut feeling that there is a lot more lurking here in terms of terroir expression that could come to the fore with a gentle oak regimen, but Jean-Nicolas Méo notes that I say this very often about a lot of other wines in Burgundy and it is not specific to this bottling. However, I would love to see just one vintage where this wine was raised in twenty-five percent new casks and seventy-five percent one wine barrels, as it would be a very interesting experiment. Plea over. The 2017 Echézeaux was raised in eighty percent new oak this year and offers up a very pretty and nascently complex bouquet of red and black cherries, cocoa powder, plums, a nicely complex signature of soil, cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and elegant in profile, with lovely mid-palate purity, fine focus and grip and a long, ripely tannic finish. Good juice. 2027-2075. (Nov/Dec 2018)"
