Henri Giraud Argonne 2017 Brut Champagne (With Gift Box)
Henri Giraud Argonne 2017 Brut Champagne is the mythical flagship cuvée of the House, representing the culmination of the Henri Giraud experience. A rare and powerful Champagne, Argonne expresses the profound relationship between wine and wood, vine and forest, Aÿ and the legendary Argonne Forest.
Produced only in the greatest vintages from strictly selected Aÿ Grand Cru parcels, Argonne unites the elegance of Grand Cru Pinot Noir with the power and complexity of oak barrels crafted from trees of the historic Argonne Forest. Cellar master Sébastien Le Golvet continues to elevate this dialogue between nature and craftsmanship.
A Champagne of extraordinary depth and refinement, Argonne reveals aromas of dried roses, gunmetal, candle wax, cedar, caramel, buttered hazelnuts, and dried orange. The palate offers silky integrated bubbles, remarkable richness, freshness, and a long expressive finish. Awarded 98 points by James Suckling.
