A commanding expression of Chambertin Grand Cru from Camille Giroud vintage 2011, where poised cherry and black currant fruit evolve into deeper tones of spice and discreet earth, framed by firm yet refined structure. The wine reveals both gravity and silkiness, an elegant ambassador of Côte de Nuits power and poise.
