Camille Giroud was family owned for three generations until 2002 when they sold their estate to the Colgin family. Since then David Croix,the winemaker, had taken this nearly bankrupt estate and has completely turned it around. The Giroud estate produces fine wines that are an elegant expression of the region.

Vosne-Romanée is a commune in the Côte de Nuits area of the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy in eastern France. With Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin, it produces the region's best red wines, all made entirely from the Pinot Noir grape. Despite the monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards.

The wines produced from the vineyards are diverse, but they are generally considered to be rich, silky and well balanced, with a complexity and longevity which surpasses that of the other wines of Burgundy.

Maison Camille Giroud was founded in 1865 by the man of that same name, and was succeded by his son Lucien. The Giroud name was associated with a reputation built on wines that aged for years and years. The family tradition continued for three generations until 2002 when they sold their estate to the Colgin family. Since then young winemaker David Croix, has taken this historic estate and has added modern touches, and respects what the vintage offers by vinifying to suit the raw material. Today the estate continues to produce fine wines that are an elegant expression of the region, and the 2006 vintage is noted for it's purity.

The great wines of Burgundy are uniquely complex, compelling and at times memorizing. Above all they are evocative, transformative but like all creatures, temperamental and anything but dependable. Two grapes dominate this agricultural masterpiece, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Both grapes achieve their greatest elegance when planted in cooler climates, to which Burgundy is the coolest and most Northern climate of all the major regions famous for red wines. When winemakers talk about Burgundy, they generally speak of terroir, the compilation of the vineyard's soil, slope, orientation, nuance of climate, etc. This concept of terroir is what makes wines produced from grapes even in the same village or vineyard strikingly different. Burgundy is a place of legend, awe and adventure, a place that wine lovers call home.
