Henri Giraud Blanc de Craie Magnum, non-vintage, from Henri Giraud expresses the chalky soils of Aÿ and Louvois in the Montagne de Reims. Aged first in tanks, then in Argonne oak barrels, this Chardonnay evokes citrus, pear and linden. Lively and satin-like on the palate, with a saline finish. Drink now with seafood.
Since 1625, the founding family has grown vines in Aÿ, in the heart of Champagne, preserving an approach faithful to its terroirs and house traditions.
- Terroir: The chalky soils of the Montagne de Reims, between Aÿ and Louvois, give Chardonnay a taut, saline mineral backbone.
- Winemaking: The cuvée spends six months in tanks, six months in small Argonne oak barrels and three years aging in the cellar.
