{"product_id":"henri-giraud-argonne-2016","title":"Henri Giraud Argonne 2016","description":"Henri Giraud Argonne 2016 is a vintage Champagne produced by Henri Giraud the Äy region of Champagne. Henri Giraud is a long-standing Champagne house currently run by 13-generation descendant Emmanuelle Giraud-Patour. The house owns approximately 10 hectares of vineyards, mainly planted to Pinot Noir on chalk soils, while it also sources fruit from selected growers. Cuvée Argonne represents an harmonious fusion of the remarkable terroir of Aÿ and the oak trees from the Argonne forest. Sourced from two parcels, ‘Les Valnons’ for the Pinot Noir and ‘Croix Courcelles’ for the Chardonnay, both situated in the heart of Aÿ, this blend undergoes vinification in new oak barrels from the Argonne forest. The result is a champagne boasting remarkable aromatic intensity and unparalleled complexity. \"This is a powerful but elegant wine with a wealth of citrus-fruit freshness, blood orange and grapefruit, as well as toast, dried citrus blossom, white lavender, clove, cardamom and spices. Tense and driven, with so much mineral freshness and focus. Very tight bead of bubbles. Endless finish. This will age incredibly well, but you are want to drink it right away.\" James Suckling, 2024","brand":"Henri Giraud","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62415498051914,"sku":"HED27665","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED27665.jpg?v=1781902281","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/henri-giraud-argonne-2016","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
