✨ 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
Tracing its viticultural heritage in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ back to 1625 through the Hémart family, Champagne Henri Giraud is one of the most distinctive and artisanal Champagne houses. Today steered by Claude Giraud, the twelfth generation of the founding family, the estate is celebrated for reviving the historic tradition of vinifying and maturing Champagne exclusively in local oak barrels sourced from the nearby Forest of Argonne. Embracing organic practices and minimal intervention, Giraud champions powerful, Pinot Noir-dominant cuvées marked by intense vinous complexity, fine salinity, and exceptional aging potential. Iconic expressions such as the prestige cuvée Argonne, the Fût de Chêne MV series, and Hommage à François Hémart epitomize the house's dedication to terroir-driven richness and visionary craftsmanship.
