Camille Giroud is a historic name in Burgundy and for their first 100 years of business, the business model was pretty simple. Curate relationships with the very best growers in the region – buy their wine in bulk or in some cases grapes and then age the wines until they were perfect, often times for decades. The family-run business became experts at cellaring techniques and infamous for their ability to taste the true potential of wines decades before they’d be ready to drink.
They would then sell the wines – already aged – at massive profits to an extremely exclusive clientele. Their auctions are legendary and many bottles can still be found today – floating around in private collections with four figure price tags.
But Ann had a larger vision and wanted even deeper relationships with their growers and increased control over the finished product. She also began to release some of the wines in more traditional channels and in a much more timely manner.
Like at Colgin, she amped up the winemaking team as well. Robert Parker summarized, “they sought a young, talented winemaker to take the negociant by the scruff of the neck and kick-start a renaissance. That is exactly what happened when David Croix was hired as regisseur in 2005. Most of the fruit is contracted, though like Albert Bichot across the road, ….David manages the vineyards and has summarized his policy: one contracted grower per cru in order to articulate a sense of place.”
I’m super excited to be working with these wines once again and have chosen one of my favorites from the portfolio – especially when one considers the bang for the buck. From Mercurey in the north Cote Chalonnaise, comes a stunner of a Pinot.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
