The Henri Giraud Fut De Chêne 2000 is a prestigious vintage Brut Champagne from Henri Giraud in Aÿ. Blending Pinot Noir (70%) and 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 spice. The palate is rich and opulent, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Sourced from chalky soils, it reflects the exceptional 2000 vintage’s balance. 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 Fut De Chêne showcases Henri Giraud’s artisanal oak-driven style, offering a bold, complex Champagne for enthusiasts seeking depth and prestige in a vintage cuvée.
