Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a lively, fine mousse, this Champagne opens with aromas of citrus peel, white stone fruit, orchard blossoms, and subtle brioche, layered with hints of spice, almond, and chalk. On the palate it is poised and textured, combining fresh acidity with a creamy, mineral-driven core, finishing long, dry, and refined. With its structure and depth, MV17 has excellent short- to medium-term aging potential and will continue to gain complexity over time.

Production
Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Aÿ, the wine reflects the chalky soils and nuanced microclimate of one of Champagne’s most historic villages. Henri Giraud is known for working with a strong focus on terroir expression, and MV17 is crafted as a multi-vintage blend to achieve balance, consistency, and complexity. The wine is vinified with careful attention to preserve freshness, texture, and the signature precision of the house style.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, lobster, shellfish, roast poultry, creamy cheeses, and fine canapés. Decanting is not necessary, but a few minutes in the glass can help the wine раскры its aromatic complexity.
