Henri Giraud PR90-20 (1x75cl)

Henri Giraud is a grower Champagne house based in Aÿ, known in the trade for fermenting some of its wines in oak barrels rather than the stainless steel most Champagne houses use.

Worth trying if you're curious about grower Champagne beyond the large houses.

Tasting notes

Barrel-fermented Champagne like this usually shows a fuller body and more textured mouthfeel than a steel-fermented wine, alongside the classic citrus and chalky minerality of the region.
