Henri Giraud MV17 Aÿ Grand Cru Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R2,650
‘A vivid Champagne, with lime blossom, graphite and ground cardamom notes serving as a fragrant thread that winds through flavors of baked white peach and pineapple fruit, coffee liqueur, candied mandarin orange peel and fleur de sel. The mousse is fine and creamy, a luxurious layer wrapping the racy spine of acidity. Drink now through 2027.’ – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 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 |
