Camille Giroud Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais 2023

Camille Giroud Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais sits at the bottom of the slope on thin chalky topsoil that drains quickly after rain.

Vines here went into the ground during the 1970s and are farmed sustainably. After double sorting, the crop is completely de-stemmed, then fermented with the vineyard's own yeasts in open wooden tanks, worked by hand with punch-downs and pump-overs. Eighteen months in barrel follow, fifteen to twenty per cent of it new, then a short rest in tank ahead of bottling.

The nose leans dark — plum, liquorice, a touch of earth — while the palate stays firm without weight. At 16°C it suits beef bourguignon, sausages with lentils, or a slab of Époisses.
