About The Wine
The fruit for this excellent Volnay is sourced from two plots, Les Lurets and Croix Martin, in the Southern corner of Volnay, just beneath the Premier Crus and where Volnay meets Meursault.
The fruit is entirely destemmed and the winemaking is gentle and slow. The resulting wine is bright with sweet fruit and lovely perfume. Gone are the impenetrable tannins of yesteryear, this is modern red burgundy at its best.
About Camille Giroud
Camille Giroud have a long and rich history in Burgundy. Founded in 1865 as a merchant they have ebbed and flowed as Burgundy has evolved - today they produce a diverse and exceptional range of wines made with fruit from both their prided growers and their own vineyards.
Carel Voorhuis is the winemaker today and he continues to impress carrying forward the pure and modern style of his predecessor David Croix. This is a micro-negotiant with centuries of experience whose capacity to continuously evolve and improve is something to be admired, the wines have never been better and represent great value at all levels.

Critic Reviews
"From Les Lurets and Croix Martin as usual. Mid red purple. The bouquet needs some coaxing. A sweeter core of fruit than the Savigny, all destemmed so gives it a more solid base, medium plus length."- Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
