Tense, powerful and vivid, this extraordinary Champagne explodes with blood orange, grapefruit, dried flowers and spices. Deep and vinous with a focused bead of bubbles, it marries richness with mineral cut, revealing layer after layer of toast, clove and citrus blossom. Crafted from 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, aged entirely in Argonne oak, it offers endless complexity and a soaring, endless finish.

James Suckling, 99/100

The 2016 Brut Grand Cru Ay Argonne stands as the pinnacle of superb releases from Champagne Henri Giraud. Evoking aromas of apricot, mirabelle, licorice, anise, ripe orchard fruits and spices, it's full-bodied, rich and vinous, with a deep, concentrated core of fruit and sappy acids, concluding with a long, penetrating, racy finish enhanced by aromas of gentian and sweet spices. A blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay from the grand cru village of Aÿ, vinified and matured in barrels, it was disgorged in February 2023. Kudos! Drinking window: 2024-2050
