Domaine Camus-Bruchon et Fils

Guillaume Camus of Domaine Camus-Bruchon is one of the very finest red winemakers in the Côte de Beaune. Located in the village of Savigny-les-Beaune, just to the north of Beaune proper, the Camus fashion beautifully balanced, deep and complex wines that are the epitome of what great Burgundy is all about. The family has a lovely spread of top vineyards in Savigny-les-Beaune (both superb premier crus and a handful of top village wine parcels planted with very old pinot noir vines), as well as a bit of premier cru in Beaune and Pommard as well.

The bouquet is immediate, soft and feminine with a well-balanced, almost savoury quality. Layers of sweet cherry, cranberry and a touch of burnt herbs. There is fresness and minerality in abundance, supporting round and open red fruits that have a charming quality.

Try with beef fillet en croute.
