Tasting Notes

Henri Giraud Blanc De Craie

Geniuses are born in suffering : clinging to the chalk of the south, in AĂż, the
Chardonnay has genius! Freed from traditional clichés, chalk as path of humility,
so discreet that it is forgotten, so present that it gives strength and life. Placed on
the front of the mouth it opens a flowery and generous palate.

Terroir : Aÿ Grand Cru in Valée de la Marne + Louvois Grand Cru in Montagene de Reims (next to Bouzy) - very deep chalk rich soils with an average vine age of 45 years old
Base wine : 2019
Technical Data : 100 % Chardonnay
Vinified in oak barrels from 2 to 5 years old
1/3 of perpetual reserve wine
Aged for 2 years on lees

‘’The Blanc de Craie marries the energy of Chardonnay (100%) with the oak-inflected structure that is such a signature of the house. Lemon confit, dried flowers, ginger, cinnamon, mint, chamomile and spice all grace this layered, mid-weight Champagne from Henri Giraud.’’ VINOUS 92 points - Antonio Galloni

La craie qui a donné son nom à la Champagne dont Salvador Dali disait : un pays

pauvre qu’un vin de craie fit somptueux »
The chalk that gave its name to Champagne, of which Salvador Dali said: "a country poor that a chalk wine made sumptuous”
