Camille Giroud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021
$1,100.00
Description
92-94 Points, Jasper Morris "Rich purple. This was heavily reduced and there is still a faint touch visible or rather sniffable. 60% whole bunches fit in very well here. The is a suave sensuality on which the reduction has not impacted. Red berries leave a very nice feel in the mouth at the finish. This is heading in the right direction and could end up with a fourth star. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Oct 2022."
ABOUT CAMILLE GIROUD
Established in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud has a rich heritage rooted in Burgundy’s winemaking tradition. Initially a specialist négociant, they sourced wines from esteemed growers across the renowned Côte d’Or region, ageing them meticulously in their cellars for decades to achieve peak maturity. In 2001, a consortium, including Napa Valley winery owner Ann Colgin and wine investors, took over, aiming to blend tradition with modern techniques and a terroir-driven approach. This led to innovations, like wooden presses and open vats, under the dynamic winemaker David Croix.
Most wines continued to be crafted from carefully selected grapes, many from old vines. Their commitment to natural winemaking practices, including native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention, set them apart. In 2016, Carel Voorhuis continued the legacy of crafting pure, terroir-driven wines, maintaining Maison Camille Giroud’s reputation for excellence in Burgundy.
