The Winery

Maison Camille Giroud

Maison Camille Giroud initially started as a small négociant firm in 1865, lending his name to the establishment. It was passed down to his daughter-in-law and her sons who kept their focus on the founding goal of producing a wine as old school traditional as possible. Extraordinarily long extraction and barrel aging in old oak produced massive wines that took up to ten years to release. In 2002, Americans Joe Wender and Ann Colgin purchased and sought to modernize the company. With a fresh start and under their lead, Maison Camille Giroud is now consistent and produces wines for character and complexity.

Tasting Notes

WA93+
The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits impressive balance and integrity. It contrasts the delicate sweetness of the fruit very nicely against the more ethereal and licorice-like aromas that come so naturally to Sangiovese grown in the spectacular Montalcino appellation. This is a fine wine from Camigliano, an estate that absolutely excels in classic and slightly cooler vintages like 2013. The winemaking is also impeccable, with balanced intensity and integrated tannins. There is a playful note of cherry sweetness on the close that I very much identify with the distinctive Camigliano wine identity. Some 150,000 bottles were produced. Congratulations on a wine well made.
