Flavour notes

In the glass, this Coteaux Champenois shows a deep red to ruby colour. Aromatically it centres on red fruit, cherry and raspberry, with blackcurrant leaf, floral tones, spice, a light menthol note and a touch of undergrowth.

The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with ripe yet fresh red fruit and a juicy impression. Lively acidity gives the wine energy, while fine tannins and a silky texture bring polish. The oak influence is present through structure and spicy accents, carrying into a long, fresh finish.

Product info about Domaine Henri Giraud Ay Pinot Noir Grand Cru Cuvee Des Froides Terres 2016

Domaine Henri Giraud Ay Pinot Noir Grand Cru Cuvée des Froides Terres 2016 is a still red wine from Champagne, not a sparkling champagne. That already gives it a distinct place: a Coteaux Champenois red from Aÿ, a Grand Cru village in the Vallée de la Marne, made from Pinot Noir rather than presented through bubbles.

The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Henri Giraud's Aÿ terroir, where the variety plays a central role. The available information points to a south-facing Grand Cru site with chalk-rich soils and the cooling influence of the Marne, all linked to the wine's freshness. For the 2016 vintage, production was very small; the bottles are numbered and a total of 2,023 bottles is mentioned.

The winemaking reinforces the serious, hands-on nature of this cuvée. The grapes were harvested by hand and vinified as whole bunches, with more than ten days of cold maceration to draw out colour and fruit aroma. Maturation took place in new oak barrels from the Forêt de Blois. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a wine for discovering the quieter red-wine side of Champagne: Pinot Noir from Aÿ, shaped with the same attention often associated with the house's better-known sparkling wines.

It also connects with Henri Giraud's R000 approach, avoiding herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. For the 2016 vintage, an analysis certificate is mentioned in which a series of pesticide residues were not detected. Antonio Galloni rated the wine 93 points for Vinous, describing a new cuvée in the range with floral and spicy notes, sweet red fruit, energy, silkiness and clearly present new oak.

In the glass, this Coteaux Champenois shows a deep red to ruby colour. Aromatically it centres on red fruit, cherry and raspberry, with blackcurrant leaf, floral tones, spice, a light menthol note and a touch of undergrowth.

The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with ripe yet fresh red fruit and a juicy impression. Lively acidity gives the wine energy, while fine tannins and a silky texture bring polish. The oak influence is present through structure and spicy accents, carrying into a long, fresh finish.

About DOMAINE HENRI GIRAUD

Domaine Henri Giraud is a family business originating from the French Champagne region, more specifically from Ay, a historic village known for its high-quality vineyards. The house has a rich tradition that goes back more than ten generations, with roots in the region tracing back to the 17th century. Today, the estate is especially known for its champagnes, with much attention given to origin, terroir, and the use of local grape varieties such as pinot noir and chardonnay. Henri Giraud distinguishes itself by choosing to age their champagnes in barrels made of French oak from the nearby Argonne forest, which imparts a subtle influence on the character of their wines. The range consists of various cuvees, including both non-vintage and vintage expressions, often made without processes like filtration or excessive dosage. Domaine Henri Giraud has gained international recognition and appreciation for its close connection with the region and its unconventional approach within traditional Champagne production, with respect for the land and craftsmanship at its core.
