Founded in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud is one of the most dynamic boutique négociants in Burgundy. With Dutch winemaker Carel Voorhuis at the helm since 2016, the wines are now much more approachable and fruit-forward than ever before. This release is the maison’s 2019 Clos Rousseau, a premier cru situated at the western end of the Santenay appellation. The wine is made from 70-year-old vines, planted at an altitude of 270 to 320 metres, in a red clay-loam soil. A beautifully perfumed expression, marked by strawberry fruit, smooth tannins and a mineral edge on the finish.
Vinous
With 30% whole cluster fruit and 15% new oak, the 2019 Santenay Clos Rousseau 1er Cru has a tightly wound nose of crushed rose petal and strawberry fruit, maybe just missing a little amplitude. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry, crunchy red fruit and a slightly bitter but focused finish. It becomes increasingly peppery with aeration. Give it a couple of years in bottle.
