The Henri Giraud Fût de Chêne 2000 in Giftbox is a prestigious vintage Brut Champagne from Aÿ, crafted by Henri Giraud. Blending 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards, it’s fermented and aged in new oak casks, displaying a golden hue with fine bubbles and a complex nose of ripe peach, candied lemon, and toasted brioche, with hints of truffle, vanilla, and chalky minerality. The palate is rich and opulent, with vibrant acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (6-8 g/L) and 10+ years of lees aging, it reflects the balanced 2000 vintage’s depth. Presented in a gift box, it’s perfect for gifting. Perfect with lobster, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses, it’s a luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age further, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Fût de Chêne showcases Henri Giraud’s oak-driven style, offering a bold, complex Champagne for enthusiasts seeking prestige and depth.
