Henri Giraud Argonne Aÿ Grand Cru Brut 2015 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R9,200
‘Golden color with intense aromas of lemon, tar, oak, bark, mushroom, and hints of salted caramel. Full-bodied and so powerful with an energy and drive as it spreads across the palate. It's like Batard-Montrachet with tiny bubbles. This is a very great wine for great dishes at the table. 100% new barrels from selected parcels of the Argonne forest.’ - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 98/100
‘The 2015 Argonne very good wine in a challenging year. Tangerine oil, apricot, mango, spice, yellow flowers and a kiss of sweet French oak lend quite a bit of exotic beauty. But the 2015 is not a huge wine. There's terrific freshness and a good bit of nuance as well. It’s a Champagne that very much reflects the updated style at Henri Giraud – one the emphasizes freshness and verve more than in the past. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2, 2023. 2024-2032’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100

| Producer information | Henri Giraud is one of the oldest Champagne families, 12 generations later they are still independent and family run, and ‘a modern legend in the making’ as per Decanter. Known for their barrel fermented, muscular Champagnes, thanks to their Grand Cru pinot noir plantings in the village of Aÿ and heralded as ‘the finest Champagne house no one has ever heard of,’ by Robert Parker almost two decades ago, they have since amassed a cult following. ‘If you love the wines of Salon, Selosse, Krug, Egly and other mighty Houses, then you will adore the intense fanfare of flavours that accompanies a bottle of Henri Giraud Champagne.’ – Matthew Jukes |
