Description

Established in 1865 by Camille Giroud, by 1976, the domaine had passed into the hands of Camille`s youngest son, Lucien. A wonderfully rare Red Burgundy from a hard-to-find vintage.

About this wine

This exceptional late-release from Camille Giroud is a testament to the winery's extensive cellar capability and nuanced understanding of wine aging. Harvested in 1976, this Musigny Grand Cru spent several decades in the cellar before its release, offering a mature and intricately developed profile. The wine embodies the essence of Musigny's terroir, characterized by a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, enhanced by the prolonged aging process. This Musigny reveals a bouquet of mature berries, earthiness, and subtle oak influences, with a velvety texture and a persistent, elegant finish. Notes of cherry, dried flowers, and spice add layers of complexity. Specific awards unknown; however, wines from this vineyard and producer are highly acclaimed.

Musigny

The Musigny collection by Domaine Georges Roumier represents the pinnacle of their production. Made from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the esteemed Musigny vineyard, these wines are celebrated for their complexity, elegance, and age-worthiness.
