I'm a fan of Henri Giraud, perhaps more so after meeting Claude Giraud at the International Pinot Noir Festival last year. The winery has embarked on serious research with respect to revitalizing the Argonne Forest and at the same time, re-establishing a local cooperage. The Hommage NV is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay—it's rather serious in its expression, with a piercing vein of chalky acidity that radiates cleanly through the core, giving lift to smoky yellow apples, bosc pear, and peach notes.

Crisp finish after pleasant fruit light brioche notes. Stood up to a fine roasted pork chop in its own jus with some roasted tomatoes.

16/20 (88/100) Нежный, но несложный аромат спелых яблок и груш, винограда и сдобы. Тельности и сахара не вполне хватает чтобы сбалансировать высокую кислотность. Яблоко во вкусе. Неплохо.

Ячмень, бриош, яблоко, мятный холодок. Очень стройно, слегка слишком дружелюбно.

Фрукт и булка, довольно сочное, с легким намеком на мед. Тело среднее-. Финиш коротковат
