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.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
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.
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!
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
