Founded in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud embodies Burgundy's winemaking legacy. Originating as a specialist négociant, they curated wines from esteemed Côte d’Or growers, aging them meticulously for decades. In 2001, a consortium, led by Ann Colgin and wine investors, infused modernity into tradition under winemaker David Croix. Innovations, including wooden presses and open vats, emerged while preserving the use of carefully selected grapes, often from old vines. Their dedication to natural winemaking, with native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention, distinguishes them. Under Carel Voorhuis since 2016, Maison Camille Giroud continues crafting terroir-driven wines, upholding its Burgundian excellence.
