Historie

Camille Giroud, of Swiss origin, marries Miss Deschamps. She is the daughter of a family of coopers and wine merchants long-established in Beaune. Camille takes over a small family-owned wine trade firm which he renames Maison Giroud Deschamps. Unlike many other wine merchants, Camille Giroud only buys musts and finished wines. He banks on his talent as a wine maturer to establish the renown of his company. Wines sent down to the cellar to stay there for many years, for decades even, possess full body and strength. Camille Giroud, his wife and their three children, Léon, Lucien and Ginette, make their home in a splendid mansion located on the Boulevard du Maréchal Joffre.
