Henri Giraud
Aÿ Grand Cru Fût De Chêne Brut Champagne Blend
Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France
Beautiful cuvée with age. Bottle bought 10 years ago and likely disgorged around 2010 or so.
Black cherries, liqueur tangerines, dried stone fruits, blackberries, mix of black raspberries/raspberries, rainier cherries, delicate but razor sharp chalkiness, limestone, sea spray, sea fossils, bread dough, baguette crust, soft wine spice, rainbow, floral bouquet, shape acidity, good tension, excellent structure & balance. The finish is elegant with power that lasts minutes. Excellent with Duck Confit, goat cheese with herbs.
Happy Global Champagne Day.

Lots of volume and complexity. A real fun champagne to drink.
