a quartet of camille giroud 2011s…
Okay, time to tidy my desk! These short notes have been hanging around on this desk for about 3 weeks now – I buy a bunch of wines from here every year. Here’s my first look: 2011 Camille Giroud, Santenay 1er Clos Rousseau… Read More
camille giroud 2010 chassagne vergers
Oof! This was ‘flippin’ singing! The preface to a quartet of 11s from C.Giroud from my annual purchases – all first-time out. This pretty-much stole the show… 2010 Camille Giroud, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Vergers Medium golden colour. Both… Read More

A couple of bottles of the Gilles Bouton 2010 St.Aubins were consumed during the warm weekend, but here’s a wine that I haven’t had a note on for a while… 2003 Camille Giroud, Bourgogne Pinot Noir Some of… Read More
The 2008s of Camille Giroud
Visited and tasted 28th June 2010. Interesting that I came away wanting to buy Corton – and at my age too! – preferring the stricter, and much more precise, Cortons in preference to a range of very good xxx-Chambertins. The old wines still surprise here – if not… Read More

The 2005 was just so good that I ‘needed’ to buy some 2006 – even without tasting! Actually the 2006 was the last vintage that Giroud had grapes from these 80 year-old vines – such a shame. This is much easier drinking than the 2005 – right from… Read More
05 camille giroud gevrey en champs
2005 Camille Giroud, Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs Medium cherry-red. The advice is to decant this as it may show a little reduction and carbon dioxide – so done. The initially diffuse nose takes about 15 minutes for a more focused, higher-toned impression, still with a trace of reduction. Read More
camille giroud 1976 gevrey 1er cazetiers
1976 Camille Giroud, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cazetiers No Girouds for a while and then like buses, two come along almost together. This has an impressive, deep, sweet, caramel old wine nose; no funk, no nasties just ‘irony’ (not ironic) and interesting for sniff after sniff. Smooth on the… Read More
