Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A finely chiselled freshness, carried by the chalky minerality of Aÿ and the lightness of Chardonnay.
Roundness
Twelve months' ageing in Argonne barrels lends a creamy, enveloping texture.
Power
Grand Cru pinot noir from Aÿ asserts a commanding presence, sustained by the oak's woody backbone.
Length
The finish is persistent and saline — the hallmark of Aÿ's finest terroirs — with elegantly toasted notes.

TASTING NOTES

A salmon-hued robe with copper highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles born of extended barrel ageing on the lees. The nose opens on aromas of raspberry, blood orange and warm spice, lifted by a delicate woody imprint inherited from Argonne oak. The palate is broad, creamy and powerful, underpinned by the minerality of Aÿ and a long finish with toasted, saline accents.

Terroirs

Sourced from the Grand Cru of Aÿ, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, this rosé draws its colour and depth from old pinot noir vines grown on the clay-limestone slopes of the village. The base wines are vinified and aged for twelve months on the lees in 228-litre barrels from the Argonne forest, with 50% new oak.

Henri Giraud

About this house

Founded in 1625 in Aÿ, Maison Henri Giraud is one of the rare great Champagne houses to claim so firmly defined a terroir identity: the Grand Cru of Aÿ runs through every single cuvée. Under the stewardship of Claude Giraud, the house has elevated the Argonne forest oak barrel to a true stylistic signature, unique in the Champenois world.

Every cuvée reflects an uncompromising artisanal vision: multi-vintage assemblages built on perpetual reserves dating back to 1990, full vinification in barrel, and exceptional formats. The Fût de Chêne MV Rosé embodies this pursuit of excellence, presented in a wooden case with its diamond-engraved rose gold clasp.

The silky power of Aÿ pinot noir elevates the sweetness of foie gras and its meltingly rich texture.

The champagne's tannic structure and spiced notes marry perfectly with the sweet, caramelised flavours of duck magret.
