Henri Giraud Dame Jane Rose Nv (750ml)
Henri Giraud Dame Jane Rose Nv (750ml)
This unconventional rosé Champagne enchants with its pale copper hue and layered aromas of cherry, wild strawberry, candied orange and ginger. Fermented in amphora, it offers a distinctive chalky, grainy mouthfeel and finishes with remarkable saline intensity. A gastronomic rosé that balances bright fruits with savory depth and lasting minerality. Truly one of a kind.

The NV Dame-Jane is simply gorgeous, evoking aromas of tangerine, spices, red berries, peony, rose and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, vinous and layered palate with bright acids and a satiny, tense mid-palate enhanced by a phenolic core of fruit with a superb gastronomic bitterness. Macerated for eight hours and matured in amphorae and sandstone containers, this blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay was disgorged in January 2024 with a dosage of five grams per liter.

The NV Rosé Rose Dame-Jane is light and airy in the glass. Crushed flowers, sweet crushed berries, white pepper and mint are all beautifully lifted. Translucent and gracious, the Dame-Jane is quite a departure for a house that was previously known for rich, opulent Champagnes. The Dame-Jane is done with an 'Oeil de Perdrix' base in which Pinot is given a short time on the skins for added color and structure. Right before bottling, touches of Chardonnay and still Pinot are added to fine-tune the blend. The Dame-Jane is aged entirely in sandstone terracotta, an approach that works beautifully. This release is based on 2017, with 40% reserve wines.
