Introduction: The founding vintage of the new Giraud story, symbol of a return to excellence and to the origins of Champagne. Multi Vintage, depository of the know-how and natural modernity of the Champagne region, combines traditional craftsmanship and modern winemaking techniques while keeping in mind the time when the great Champagne families built the history of the region on the genius of its men and its wines. Here is a unique lace made as of the great perfumes, the perpetual reserve, a sweet animal catchphrase, comes to stimulate the features of the 2015 harvest. Salinity and warmth underline the meticulousness, harmony and dexterity of MV. The hand-embedded clip signs its authenticity. Technical Data 80% Pinot Noir – 20% Chardonnay Traditional Blend: 2/3 identified year + 1/3 perpetual reserve (since 1990) Vinified and raised in small oak barrel during 1 year, 50% of them are new oak barrel. Reviews: An edgy, lively Champagne with bread dough, dried apples and apricots. Toffee with caramel with a lifted sense. Light oxidation with some nuts and saltiness. Full-bodied and very layered with so much going on. Creme brulee, pie crust and zingy acidity. Minty and lively. Strawberries and oranges coming through. This is 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay, all fermented in wood, 60% new. Drink now. James Suckling, 97 points. Splendid nose with an interplay of smoke, hazelnut and gentle spices, along with a touch that is reminiscent of the salty tang of a sea breeze, but what is especially captivating is the elegant floral scent. After resting a while in the glass, the wine develops nuanced notes of menthol…. The MV 15 cuvée is a multi-vintage blend of 20% Chardonnay and 80% Pinot Noir coming entirely from the Aÿ district, and again having as its base wine one from 2015 vintage supplemented with 30% coming from reserve wines. This is a gastronomic Champagne endowed with a sumptuous bouquet but will benefit from further cellaring. Decanter. Yohan Castaing, 95 points.
