French Champagne - Henri Giraud Hommage à François Hémart

The deep, amber-tinted colour is a mark of its raising process. The fine and generous bubbles form an attractive and constantly renewed bubble trail.A very fine nose with the elegance and freshness of honeysuckle, yellow fruit and green almonds with a pleasant dash of mint. Great elegance, round and delectable, savours of pair with yellow fruit and dried apricots, with finish featuring orange zest and chocolate. A subtle balance between the smooth meatiness of this wine and the chalky, fresh notes in its finish.

TASTING & SERVING: At 12°C, its power and strong personality open up a wide gastronomic choice ranging from bass in fennel to pork tenderloin in honey, or duck with citrus fruit and turnip conserve; or serve it at 8°C if you are raring to go – slightly chilled in the ice-bucket.
