Champagne Brut
Hommage au Pinot Noir

The Champagne Hommage au Pinot Noir by Henri Giraud is an exceptional Blanc de Noirs, obtained exclusively from Pinot Noir grown in the Grand Cru-classified vineyards of Aÿ, one of the most prestigious territories in Champagne. This wine pays tribute to the greatness of Pinot Noir, highlighting its depth and aromatic richness through a meticulous vinification process that respects the terroir.

Vinification and fermentation in fût de chêne, with an aging period of over 36 months on the lees, this Champagne acquires extraordinary complexity and structure, developing a sophisticated aromatic profile and a spicy character, distinctive traits of this cuvée. The oak contributes to enhancing the body without overshadowing its purity, allowing the grape variety to express its identity with elegance and intensity.

In tasting, Hommage au Pinot Noir presents a slightly amber hue, enriched by golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage, which highlights its freshness and refined effervescence. On the nose, the bouquet is complex and enveloping, with a wide range of fruity notes, including ripe apricot, mirabelle plum, and warm pear. These are complemented by delicate spices and toasted aromas, further enhancing the depth and richness of the bouquet. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant, saline structure, with a perfect balance between freshness and opulence. The lively acidityprovides dynamism, while the almost oily texture envelops the palate with harmony. Notes of grapefruit, salted almonds, and apricot peel emerge, accompanied by a subtle minerality that extends the finish, giving it elegance and persistence. A Blanc de Noirs Champagne with strong character, ideal for lovers of the most authentic expressions of Pinot Noir, capable of combining refinement, power, and balance, crafted with the winemaking expertise of Maison Henri Giraud.
