Santenay 1er Cru Clos Rousseau Camille Giroud (Domaine) 2010

The wine

This Santenay demonstrates all the complexity and richness of its terroir with a surprising structure and lovely aromas of raspberry and cherry. Whilst it should be aged for at least two years in order to develop its aromatic palette, this bottle can be left in the cellar for much longer overall – around 10 years.

About the Producer Camille Giroud

Created in 1865 by the Swiss Camille Giroud, the Maison was originally a trading house which only began to buy its own vines in 1990. In 2001, some American enthusiasts named Colgin, purchased the domain and maintained its international success. Native to the Loire valley, their oenologist David Croix wanted to maintain this micro-trading business. Nowadays his place has been taken by Carel Voorhuis. The wines produced are popular due to their elegance, balance and the right choice of grape maturity and élevage.
