Sadly this will be the last vintage of Camille Giroud’s Corton, Le Rognet. With a magical, stylish nose this gorgeous wine is right up to the quality of its predecessors. It shows superb weight through the middle and great length.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director These are brilliant wines once again from David Croix and his team at Camille Giroud and fortunately they were able to make a little more wine this year than last. Alhough the white selection is small, the wines are just as fine as the reds. David has made some inspirational wines from less fancied appellations such as Maranges and Santenay, as well as majoring on the Grands Crus of Corton and the Chambertins. Almost all of the wines are from purchased grapes, but somehow Camille Giroud feels to us much more like a domaine.

Burgundy 2009 Best Buys – Grand Cru Wines
Giroud's Corton Grand Cru jumps out of the glass with a bolt of perfumed raspberries and cassis. It has lively fresh acidity and real staying power, is constant from start to finish, and is accompanied all the way on the palate by a core of powerful fruit flavours. This is delicacy and power, perfectly married.

David Croix has used 35% whole bunches in vinifying this Corton Grand Cru wine, whereas he normally de-stems entirely. The result is a gifted, perfumed nose with amazing length, and prime dancing qualities at the fore.
Jasper Morris MW, Buyer

There is a wonderful depth of flavour in this wine (a testament to David’s decision to harvest relatively late) but this mingles seamlessly with a delightful freshness that makes it a joy to taste. It is a sophisticated wine, with plenty of weight and a ripe, rewarding finish.
