History
Alongside its own premier cru vineyards in Beaune, La Maison Camille Giroud also purchases grapes from all over the Côte d’Or to curate a solid roster of fine Burgundies.With its compact size and minutious approach, this negociant produces “haute couture” wines.
When the domain was purchased in 2001 by Americans Ann Colgin, Joe Wender and their partners, they hired the talented David Croix straight out of school. He has managed the property up until 2016, with Carel Voorhuis now in charge. They vinified together the 2016 vintage to ensure a fine continuity in the syle of the wines. The reds are what we love about Burgundy with their bright bouquets, sensual mouthfeels, and fine, silky tannins. A tasting here is always highly educational for wine-lovers. Not only are their wines impressive, but it’s one of the few places in the Côte d’Or where one can enjoy everything from Maranges to Marsannay, passing through all the grand crus in between. It is not uncommon for Camille Giroud to make wines from over 30 different appellations in any given vintage.
