Henri Giraud Champagne AY Grand Cru Brut MV20

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Champagne opens with aromas of white flowers, citrus peel, orchard fruit, brioche, and subtle toasted notes. On the palate it is layered and vinous, showing ripe apple, lemon zest, hazelnut, and a mineral backbone, balanced by a creamy texture and lively freshness. The finish is long, elegant, and gently saline, with enough structure to suggest very good aging potential over the next several years.

Production
Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Aÿ, the wine reflects the chalk and clay soils of the Champagne region, with Pinot Noir bringing structure and Chardonnay adding finesse. Henri Giraud is known for careful parcel selection and precise cellar work, with emphasis on preserving freshness and complexity through traditional vinification methods and extended maturation before release.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is ideal with oysters, sashimi, roast poultry, lobster, or fine cream-based dishes, and it also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help the wine open further.
