Henri Giraud 'Argonne' Ay Grand Cru Brut 2014

Giraud makes some of the most unique, individualistic wines in Champagne. All of the wines bear the unmistakable stamp of the Grand Cru vineyards of Ay. At their best, the Giraud Champagnes offer incredible intensity, class and balance.

Review

"Beautiful interplay of vivacity and silkiness. Vibrant and phenolic, yet also supple with long, caressing layers of crushed almond, brown butter, apricot, praline, white chocolate and hints of sage. Really opens up. Fantastic integration. 100% new barrels from selected parcels of the Argonne forest." - 98pts, JamesSuckling.com

Notes

There is some rust on the closure over the cork that occurred during transit.  No damage to the closure or bottle.
