The NV Hommage au Pinot Noir presents itself as another exceptional addition within the Giraud range. Its character is both lavish and creamy, with a striking expressiveness at this stage. This Hommage is crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, embracing a distinctive approach that diverges from convention. It undergoes eleven months of maturation in oak, followed by an additional six months in tanks—a technique more commonly associated with white Burgundy. Although atypical for Champagne, this method proves harmonious and effective. The wine showcases a seamless melding of flavors, encompassing red plum, kirsch, mint, chamomile, and delicate spices. Balancing richness and generosity with a nimble quality, the Hommage exudes both substance and grace. This specific release draws from the 2016 vintage, incorporating 40% reserve wines. With a dosage of 6 grams per liter, it was disgorged on September 21, 2020.
