Camille Giroud, Beaune 1er Cru

Camille Giroud, Beaune 1er Cru(from Les Cras and Les Avaux). An ultra fresh nose freely expresses its aromas of lilac, red cherry and green tea wisps. There is slightly better density to the medium weight flavors that also conclude in a youthfully austere and persistent but not really lean finale. This too should add weight and flesh with a few years of cellaring.

(100% whole cluster)

this projects remarkable delicacy and a focused sense of stone

violets and pencil shavings

It would be all but impossible to mistake this for something other than Chablis as the pungent aromas of oyster shell

Popped and poured

Rich and round

there is very little in the way of Cannubi sensuality or character

it remains a family affair

The 2016 Insignia has turned out beautifully

On the palate there is more size

This is a real character

cigar box and baking spices over a core of prunes
