ABOUT THIS WINE
The Bourgogne Blanc from Maison Camille Giroud is a 2020 Chardonnay from the Bourgogne AOC in Burgundy, France. This wine is a blend of grapes sourced from various Burgundy appellations, including Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Mercurey, and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Approximately half of the grapes come from organic farming practices. Maison Camille Giroud, established in 1865, has a long history in Burgundy. After a consortium acquisition in 2001, the winery adopted modern, terroir-driven techniques while respecting tradition. The current winemakers aim to produce pure, seductive wines that reflect their origin.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bourgogne Blanc Camille Giroud 2020 is made from 100% Chardonnay. Grapes are sourced from organic or sustainable farms. The vinification process involves whole grape pressing and cold settling of the must, with minimal SO2 added. Fermentation occurs using ambient yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 to 24 months in a mix of 228-litre Burgundy barriques and larger vessels (300L and 600L), with 0-30% new oak. The winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention, with rare lees stirring, no fining, and gentle filtration only when necessary.
