Prepare for one of the most extraordinary Champagne experiences Henri Giraud’s MV19 Fût de Chêne.

Crafted in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, this exceptional cuvée is a testament to the house’s unwavering dedication to terroir, where the unique characteristics of their vineyards are brought to life in every bottle. Henri Giraud is renowned for its masterful use of oak barrels sourced exclusively from the ancient Argonne Forest, where only the finest wood is selected to enhance the depth and character of their wines.

The MV19 is a blend of one-third perpetual reserve wine, dating back to 1990, and two-thirds from the 2019 vintage. This intricate combination, aged with the utmost care, imparts a richness and complexity that is simply unparalleled.

Sébastien Le Golvet, the cellarmaster, oversees every detail, from the geo-positioning of each oak tree in the Argonne Forest to the precise toasting of the barrels. His dedication ensures that the barrel perfectly complements the minerality-charged terroir of Henri Giraud’s Grand Cru vineyards and trees.

This Champagne undergoes an extended aging process, further contributing to its remarkable complexity and richness. The MV19 is the epitome of luxury, a Champagne that showcases the harmonious union of vineyard, oak, and time.

"What makes this wine is the fine, velvet texture at the end that rolls off the finish. Dried-citrus, pastry and light walnut aromas here. I like the subtle, woodsy undertones, more of a deep-forest kind than toastiness. It’s powerful, broad and intense, with a solid structure and framing, but a very fine texture with seamless bubbles. So textural. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. One third perpetual reserve and two thirds of 2019." - 98 Points, James Suckling
