✨ Technical Specifications
The PR 22-90 Rosé from Champagne Henri Giraud is an extraordinary multi-vintage cuvée that showcases the house's mastery of the 'Perpétuelle Réserve' (PR) system. This unique bottling marries a perpetual reserve initiated in 1990 with the outstanding 2022 harvest, creating a bridge across decades of winemaking history. Crafted in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, the wine undergoes vinification in oak casks sourced from the nearby Argonne Forest, imparting a signature texture and micro-oxygenation. The rosé character is achieved through the addition of Henri Giraud's acclaimed still red wine from Aÿ, resulting in a deeply vinous, structured, and complex Champagne. It offers a captivating sensory journey marked by wild red berries, subtle spices, and a profound mineral finish, reflecting the chalky soils of its historic terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Rooted in the historic Grand Cru village of Aÿ since 1625, Champagne Henri Giraud represents a benchmark in vinous, artisanal Champagne production. Stewarded by 12th-generation proprietor Claude Giraud alongside cellar master and son-in-law Sébastien Le Golvet, the house is renowned for championing Pinot Noir cultivated on deep, south-facing belemnite chalk slopes. Henri Giraud is celebrated for reviving the historical practice of fermenting and maturing base wines exclusively in new and seasoned casks coopered from local Argonne Forest oak, as well as sandstone and terracotta amphorae, entirely eliminating stainless steel. Viticulture adheres to rigorous sustainable standards, eschewing pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides under a certified zero-residue protocol. The estate produces richly textured, vinous champagnes defined by intense chalky minerality, structural depth, and micro-oxygenated nuance. Flagship cuvées include the prestigious vintage oak-aged Argonne, the perpetual reserve multi-vintage Fût de Chêne MV series, and the PR Perpetual Reserve bottlings.
