Henri Giraud MV20 Brut Champagne

Henri Giraud MV20 is the continuation of the House’s iconic MV series, originally known as “Fût de Chêne” in recognition of its pioneering use of oak barrel ageing. One of the first Champagnes to challenge traditional conventions, MV established a new perspective focused on terroir, small yields, Pinot Noir dominance, and vinification in oak.

Sourced from the exceptional Aÿ Grand Cru terroir, MV20 combines the depth of perpetual reserve wines with the freshness of the 2020 vintage. The blend is vinified and raised in small oak barrels for one year, with 60% new oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop remarkable texture, complexity, and elegance.

Crisp Pinot Noir forms the opening impression before revealing layers of ripe fruit, refreshing minerality, and a distinctive chalky texture. A refined and energetic Champagne that captures the feeling of renewal and a new beginning.
