Not sure when degorged but superb bubbles and that old-school Giraud FdC nose that’s been lost in recent years and their cuvee insanity. Wish I had more of this, last bottle and pretty rare retail-wise now.

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат лежалых яблок, сливочного мороженого, абрикосов и легкой медовой нотой. Высокая кислотность. Строгое во вкусе. Неплохо.

Lauren didn’t like. I thought pretty solid. Tart and sour, but nice on a warm day.

Absolutely Stunning...100% Pinot Noir. Our tasting at the Giraud Champagne was such a highlight! Great champagne for the wife's birthday (her favorite)!
