Tasting Note:December 14, 2017

Second sparkling wine tasted at Champagne Henri Giraud. Thank you Mèlissa for the tour and all the information on your winemaking process.

Deep yellow with light to medium liveliness. Rich nose with dark citrus notes, spices and marzipan. Some hay too. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Very rich and creamy on the palate with red apples, spices, anise and well balanced. Mouthwatering minerality and a long finish.

This is the MV12 aka the Multi-Vintage 2012 with around 70% from 2012 whole the rest comes from 5 to 10 year old Reserve.
