TN: 2005 Camille Giroud Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Guérets

  • 2005 Camille Giroud Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Guérets - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru (8/11/2009)
    Popped and poured and consumed over a period of about 3 hours. This wine still retains a little of that old world charm and character while showing a good deal of black cherry fruit mixed with a touch of spicy oak. Acidity is nicely managed and there is a very slight bit of an earthy tone towards the finish. Got better and better with airtime. This is about as close to new world pinot as I have had from Burgundy. Very much resembles high end Oregon Pinot Noir. I really enjoyed this wine and I’ll definitely try some of the other bottlings from this producer. (91 pts.)

Thanks for the note. I like Giroud but didn’t get any of the A-C … sounds like a very nice wine for the price.
