Producer Information

Maison Camille Giroud is a Burgundy négociant business based in Beaune, the heart of the region. The company owns just over a hectare of vineyards, with the vast majority of wines made from grapes sourced from sales of fruit or wines and from contract growers located across the wider Burgundy region. This includes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from famous vineyards including Chambertin, Corton, Echezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. The house was founded in 1865, and remained under the ownership of the Giroud family for 137 years. During this time, it developed a reputation for the ageworthiness of its wines. The wines were heavily extracted and aged in cask and bottle for seven years or more before release, and at its peak the business produced over 100,000 bottles per annum. Many old vintages are still for sale and drinking well, but difficulties with the ever-growing inventory led the family to sell the business. The sale included 300,000 bottles of wine dating back to 1937.
