Hommage au Pinot Noir from Henri Giraud, a Blanc de Noirs Brut from Aÿ, a Grand Cru of Champagne, celebrates Pinot Noir aged 24 months in oak barrels. Golden color, fruity and mineral aromas, and a creamy, lively palate. A precise, elegant champagne, ideal with refined dishes or for cellaring up to 10 years.
A family-owned house rooted in Aÿ since 1625, Henri Giraud carries on a winemaking heritage where tradition meets innovation.
- Terroir: The chalky, limestone soils of Aÿ, a Grand Cru of Champagne, where Pinot Noir reveals its noble character.
- Winemaking: Aging in Argonne oak barrels and amphorae produces champagnes with a silky texture and pronounced minerality.
Tasting notes for Henri Giraud Hommage au Pinot Noir
Appearance – Luminous golden yellow, with fine, persistent bubbles suggesting a rich texture.
On the nose – Aromas of fresh black cherry and wild blackberry, followed by toasted bread and sweet spices, lifted by a saline, chalky touch.
On the palate – A dense, velvety opening, supported by lively acidity and chalky minerality, leads to a long, structured finish where ripe fruit mingles with oak notes.
Serve between 6 and 8 °C in a champagne flute to preserve its freshness and bubbles.
