Vintage information 2001:

The reds were neither deeply coloured nor obviously extracted, some critics were disappointed. Whether your bottle comes from the Côte de Beaune or the Côte de Nuits, be aware that some superbly fine and pure red wines were made. The very best will give their brothers from 2002 strong competition, and they always had finer tannins than 02.
The whites were a little less round than 99, 00 or 02, but can have nicely linear and concentrated fruit.

2001 Méo-Camuzet, Vosne-RomanéeOct. 2006
Medium-plus ruby-red. The nose is wide but dominated by toasty oak – even after one hour this ‘mask’ hardly lifts, just a little mocha aroma develops. The palate has nice, soft texture and gives the impression of width – nicely detailed and quite complex, though doesn’t have the intensity of fruit of the Bichot that preceded it. Lovely acidity, slightly grainy tannin and excellent balance. I’m not the greatest fan of this style of aromatics, but this wine has a beguiling, if lightweight understatement. Stylisticly very different to the Bichot – which I slightly prefer – but equally worthy of cellar space; I’d be happy with a 3:2 Bichot:Méo mix.
