Henri Giraud
About Champagne Henri Giraud
A rapidly rising star on the Champagne stage, Henri Giraud is one of the most innovative houses in the region, with their wines built upon their unique approach to Terroir. Their focus is not only on the terroir of the vines but also that of the Argonne forest, from where they source the oak for their barrels. Because of their use of barrel ageing in the winemaking process and the intensity of their wine, they have been consistently likened to Krug. Indeed many have found their top cuveé, the Fût de Chêne compares favourably while coming in at a fraction of the price.Product Name | Region | Qty | Score | Price | |||||

James Suckling (99)This is an extraordinary, hand-crafted Champagne with aromas of strawberries, spice, dried apples, clementines and subtle bread dough. Dried oranges, too. Full-bodied, yet so tight, compact and powerful with a solid core of fruit and a finish that goes on forever. 90% pinot noir and 10% chardonnay, all from the village of Ay and fermented and aged in new wood for 15 months. Then aged in bottle. Superb structure and complexity. One for the cellar. |
