--------THE PRODUCER--------

Camille Giroud

Among the finest of the boutique negociant - winemakers is Maison Camille Giroud, an old and venerable negoce, which is today presided over by Carel Voorhuis of Domaine d’Ardhuy. Founded in 1865, Camille Giroud earned an impeccable reputation over the last century and half as a specialist in “eccentrically traditional” vin de garde.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most expensive, most lauded, rarest and delicious wines. Equally it is one of the most difficult grapes to grow successfully and as a result it is quite hard to make a balanced Pinot Noir. It is historically from Burgundy, most specifically in the Cote de Nuits, so much so that people will refer to Pinot Noir as a 'Burgundy'

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
