Premier Cru 2019 Camille Giroud Beaune Aux Cras Red Wine

Camille Giroud Beaune Premier Cru ‘Aux Cras’ Pinot Noir 2019

Experience the profound elegance of Burgundy with this exceptional Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Camille Giroud. Crafted from venerable 80-year-old vines rooted in Beaune’s prestigious ‘Aux Cras’ climat, this 2019 vintage captures the essence of its unique terroir for discerning collectors and enthusiasts seeking authentic French red wine.

Nestled at 250-280 meters altitude with optimal east/southeast exposure, these ancient vines struggle in remarkably shallow brown limestone soils. This distinct terroir, formed from weathered Ladoix limestone (Dalle Nacrée), fractures into fossil-rich plates – imparting unparalleled mineral complexity and structure to the grapes. Hand-harvested low yields translate into impossibly concentrated fruit.

Anticipate a beautifully balanced expression of Pinot Noir (13.5% alc.): layers of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle earthy undertones seamlessly intertwined with that distinctive mineral signature and refined tannins. Perfectly suited for graceful aging or current enjoyment alongside roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or fine cheeses.

Key Highlights:
* Premier Cru Pedigree: Sourced exclusively from Beaune’s renowned ‘Aux Cras’ vineyard.
