Henri Giraud PR 19-90

Henri Giraud PR 19-90 is a non-vintage Champagne produced by Henri Giraud in X. Produced from a solera system, PR 90-19 is an assemblage of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. It was barrel-fermented in Argonne oak and spent a minimum of three years on lees before disgorgement. "The center palate to this is impressive with light salted caramel, toffee, dried apple and peach skin. It opens to reveal aromas and flavors of sea salt, oyster shell and chalk. Medium to full body. Some creme brulee. Creamy texture. Extremely long and complex at the end. 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. Blend of two solera systems of perpetual reserve, started in 1990." James Suckling, 2023
