Henri Giraud Champagne,
Drink now,
This is a very fine and pure Champagne offering from one of the most talented growers in the region. White flowers, hazelnuts and biscuit on the nose, with a lemony zip on the palate, give this a year or two in the cellar and enjoy anytime over the following five years.

Claude Giraud is the 12th generation of the Giraud-Hémart family to preside over the family business and produce Henri Giraud Champagne in Aÿ.
The Henri Giraud Fût de Chêne is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, using the 'Petit Pinot' clone of Pinot Noir which has been grown solely in Aÿ since 1804. The wine is 100% oak fermented, a practice not commonly used elsewhere in Champagne, the notable exponents being Bollinger (for their vintage Champagnes), Alfred Gratien and Krug.
