Camille Giroud Ladoix Les Chaillots 2013

Bright ruby color. Nose of flowers, red berries with some spices and earth notes with an incredible freshness. On the palate, it’s as pure, festive and enjoyable as pinot can often be. Fruit flavors leads the way as it might not seems that complex at this stage, but it’s really tasty, intense with bursting flavors. Astounding accessibility with a high level of enjoyment, a real treat. Excellent (91) 

Made of  pinot noir grown in biodynamic farming and from vines located near the Corton Grand Cru. Aged in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 12,5%

Camille Giroud Corton-Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2010

Ruby and shiny color. Explosion of red berries in a festive blend of aromas of sweet strawberries, anise, light caramel and vanilla. Sappy but delicate with fine oak notes, flavors of red fruit, pepper and minerals. Felt quite opened at this stage which, beside how I like the wine saddens me. I would have expected a wine with more structure and ageing capacities which I clearly doubt about it now. I comfort myself by telling myself that I enjoyed it. Excellent (91)

Made of Pinot Noir. David Croix is the winemaker for this wine. Ageing in oak barrels for 15 to 20 months with around 20% new barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5%
