Camille Giroud
カミーユ・ジルー
Profile
ボーヌとマランジュのデジーズを拠点とするカミーユ・ジルーは、計3つのプルミエ・クリュのみを自社畑として管理する造り手である。主要な所有畑はボーヌに集中しており、その一つであるレ・ザヴォーは、アペラシオン南側の低い斜面に位置する魅力的な区画だ。ここでは0.31haを保有し、骨格のしっかりとしたワインを生み出している。また、同じくボーヌのオー・クラスに0.32haを擁するほか、マランジュのル・クロワ・モワンヌも所有。これら3つの1級畑が、ドメーヌの保有面積のすべてを構成している。過度な拡大をせず、特定の区画に特化した体制を敷いており、ボーヌの特徴的なテロワールを反映したワイン造りに取り組んでいる。総保有数は3畑と小規模ながら、厳選された一級畑のみを継承している点が特徴である。

History
Camille Giroud is a Beaune négociant with roots reaching back to 1865, though the house traded quietly for much of the twentieth century before changing hands in 2001 — acquired by a group including Ann Colgin of Napa Valley. That transition brought renewed attention and a more focused estate-style approach. Today the house operates from Beaune with a small but carefully chosen portfolio of Premiers Crus.
Winemaking Approach
Four Premier Cru parcels across Beaune and Maranges define the current estate range. Beaune Aux Cras (0.32 ha) and Beaune Les Avaux (0.31 ha) are the principal Beaune holdings — both classic red-wine Premiers Crus on the village's well-drained limestone slopes. Le Croix Moines in Maranges (Dezize) adds a southern accent. The winemaking style emphasises purity and minimal intervention, consistent with the post-2001 direction. Notably, Camille Giroud also works with purchased fruit and must, so the bottlings extend beyond the estate's direct holdings.
