Henri Giraud Ratafia Champenois Solera NV (4500ml)

Amber-gold and luminous in the glass, Henri Giraud’s Ratafia Champenois Solera opens with a deep, aromatic tapestry—dried apricot, golden raisin, orange peel, and warm spice, interlaced with honeycomb, walnut, and a touch of oxidative flor. The palate is unctuous yet poised, delivering layers of fig, spiced quince, candied citrus, and roasted nuts, balanced by a lifted acidity and subtle salinity. Solera ageing adds depth and seamless integration, creating a richly textured, resonant mouthfeel. The finish is long, warming, and complex, echoing with caramelized fruit and savoury spice. A rare, contemplative fortified wine from Champagne—crafted with detail, patience, and the unmistakable imprint of the Giraud house.
