Description of Henri Giraud Blanc de Craie

Estate

The Henri Giraud house is renowned for its artisanal expertise in crafting Blanc de Blancs champagnes. It focuses on expressing the purity and finesse of Chardonnay through elegant and precise cuvées.

Vineyard

This Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from the best plots in the region, ensuring freshness and vivacity. The limestone terroir typical of Champagne imparts tension and minerality to the wine.

Wine

This non-vintage champagne reflects the Henri Giraud identity with its balanced structure and delicate aromas. With a 90-point rating from Robert Parker, it represents good quality for a non-vintage champagne.

Vintage

Non-vintage (NV), this wine is the result of a subtle blend of reserve wines, offering consistency from year to year.

Vinification & Aging

Vinification is carefully conducted to preserve the freshness of fruity and floral aromas. Aging on fine lees adds mild complexity while respecting the purity of the Chardonnay.

Grape Variety

100% Chardonnay
