  Hommage au Pinot Noir, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8350

  ​Hommage au Pinot Noir by Champagne Henri Giraud is a distinguished cuvée that pays tribute to the house’s deep-rooted history and the emblematic Pinot Noir grape of Aÿ. The Giraud-Hémart family has cultivated vines in Aÿ since 1625, making it one of the oldest Champagne houses still managed by its founding family. This wine honours François Hémart, an ancestor of the Giraud family, reflecting the family’s enduring legacy in the region.

  In the glass, Hommage au Pinot Noir reveals a radiant golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and complex, opening with vibrant aromas of ripe orchard fruit, candied citrus peel, and toasted brioche. Layers of apricot skin, grapefruit, and subtle notes of salted almonds and crushed stones reflect both power and precision. On the palate, the wine is structured and textural, offering a beautifully balanced interplay between richness and freshness. Its creamy mouthfeel is lifted by a saline minerality and taut acidity, leading to a long, focused finish with hints of spice and dried flowers. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir with a portion of perpetual reserve wine, this Blanc de Noirs is both a celebration of terroir and a tribute to the artistry of the Giraud family.

  Dame Jane Rose, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8850

  Dame Jane Rosé is a striking and elegant expression of Champagne Henri Giraud’s deep connection to Pinot Noir and its Aÿ Grand Cru terroir. Named in tribute to the traditional terracotta amphorae (known as “Dame-Jane” in French) used in its ageing, this rosé stands apart for its purity, texture, and unique approach to maturation.

  Sourced exclusively from the historic chalk and clay-rich vineyards of Aÿ, this cuvée is composed predominantly of Pinot Noir, with a small portion of Chardonnay. What makes Dame Jane truly singular is its vinification and ageing in terracotta amphorae, which allows the wine to breathe and evolve gently without imparting oak character. This natural micro-oxygenation enhances purity, amplifies minerality, and preserves the vibrancy of the fruit, resulting in a rosé Champagne that is both structured and ethereal.

  In the glass, Dame Jane Rosé reveals a delicate rose-gold hue with a refined and persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and graceful, with layered aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, blood orange, rose petals, and a touch of crushed herbs. On the palate, it is textured yet precise, delivering juicy red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a subtle spice note, all framed by a fine mineral backbone and a long, mouthwatering finish. Its balance of creamy mouthfeel and fresh acidity speaks to both craftsmanship and terroir.

  Dame Jane Rosé is a Champagne of rare character and charm – vibrant, refined, and exquisitely detailed. It is a tribute to ancient methods, Grand Cru provenance, and the elegance of Pinot Noir in its purest form.

  PR 90-20, Champagne Henri Giraud

  £15500

  Time is integral to all exceptional wine, but it is the critical component in Henri Giraud’s PR 90-19. Drawing inspiration from philosophy and physics, the “Perpetual Reserve” is a voyage through Henri Giraud’s vintage history.

  The imagery on the bottle offers a metaphysical nod to the role of time in every aspect of this wine. The design features a stylised equation symbolising the compression of time and space, representing the span of vintages and spatial distances captured in this single cuvée.

  100% solera-based, PR 90-20 is an 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay blend. 1/3 Grand Cru reserve wine from the solera started in 1990, which is designated for Giraud’s MV Fût de Chène, and 2/3 would be from an older “Esprit Nature” solera dating to the 1950s.

  In the glass, PR 90-20 from Champagne Henri Giraud reveals a luminous golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive and complex, unfolding layers of grapefruit zest, ripe pear, white flowers, and toasted brioche, interwoven with subtle hints of spice, chalk, and orange peel. On the palate, the wine is impeccably balanced, rich and vinous, yet precise and energetic with flavours of candied citrus, green apple, and delicate pastry notes. The signature chalky minerality of Aÿ’s Grand Cru terroir is complemented by the elegant integration of Argonne oak, adding texture and depth without overshadowing the fruit. A creamy mousse and refined acidity lead to a long, focused finish with lingering notes of clove, citrus oil, and fine salinity. This is a Champagne of poise and power, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and terroir-driven philosophy of Henri Giraud.

  MV19 Fut de Chene, Champagne Henri Giraud

  £17500

  Prepare for one of the most extraordinary Champagne experiences, Henri Giraud’s MV19 Fût de Chêne.

  Robert Parker, two decades ago, said: “This may be the finest Champagne house virtually no one has ever heard of”. Since then, the world has heard of Henri Giraud, and especially the house’s flagship wines Fût de Chêne and Argonne, which are now world-renowned and highly sought after.

  Crafted in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, this exceptional cuvée is a testament to the house’s unwavering dedication to terroir, where the unique characteristics of their vineyards are brought to life in every bottle. Henri Giraud is renowned for its masterful use of oak barrels sourced exclusively from the ancient Argonne Forest, where only the finest wood is selected to enhance the depth and character of their wines.

  The MV19 is a blend of one-third perpetual reserve wine, dating back to 1990, and two-thirds from the 2019 vintage. This intricate combination, aged with the utmost care, imparts a richness and complexity that is simply unparalleled.

  Sébastien Le Golvet, the cellarmaster, oversees every detail, from the geo-positioning of each oak tree in the Argonne Forest to the precise toasting of the barrels. His dedication ensures that the barrel perfectly complements the minerality-charged terroir of Henri Giraud’s Grand Cru vineyards and trees.

  This Champagne undergoes an extended ageing process, further contributing to its remarkable complexity and richness. The MV19 is the epitome of luxury, a Champagne that showcases the harmonious union of vineyard, oak, and time.
