Henri Giraud Hommage Au Pinot Noir Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R1,170
‘A rich version set in a firm, finely honed frame, with exotic spice, lime blossom and orange liqueur notes forming an aromatic thread, which winds through raspberry tart, grilled nut, graphite and crystallized honey flavors. Silky in texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish.’ – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 94/100
‘Vibrant and saline with a medium body, tangy acidity and a textured, almost oily palate. Serious and structured Blanc de Noirs with notes of grapefruit, salted almonds, apricot skin and stones. Tight bubbles. Gourmand. 40% perpetual reserve. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 94/100
‘This has a vivacious nose of ripe, fresh fruit, especially red berries, that interplays nicely with spicy and floral notes. The mouthfeel is plush but without a trace of heaviness, as the palate demonstrates perfect poise on its way to a magnificently long and seemingly weightless finish. 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 6g/L, disgorged February 2020.’ – Yohan Castaing, Decanter, 92/100

| 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 |
