One of the best and most famous of the vineyards. In the sweet mid-slope spot. Brown clay with Grèze litée, small tooth-sized stones found on the slopes of Beaune - a great combo for drainage and water retention allowing for wines of tension and expression.
David Croix quickly made a name for himself as the winemaker for the venerable negociant, Camille Giroud, a position he held from 2002 to 2016. He started at Camille Giroud fresh out of oenology school, at the age of 24, and because of the range of terroirs vinified at Camille Giroud received a one-of-a-kind education on Beaune vineyards.
