Camille Giroud Volnay Village 2023

Volnay, France

WineSaint

Giroud's aggressive whole-cluster approach backfires here, with green, herbaceous notes overwhelming modest red fruit. The stemmy character feels intrusive rather than elegant, masking what concentration exists. Medium-bodied with decent underlying material, but those vegetal notes seem unlikely to integrate.
