Camille Giroud Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais 2021
$240.00
Description
88-91 Points, Jasper Morris "Bright purple. Some oak on the nose. Red fruit follows. Surprisingly mouth filling, delivering more on the palate than the bouquet suggested, with savoury strawberries at the back and no shortage of fruit volume. Drink from 2025-2030. 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.
