The name Ratafia refers to an ancient method of preserving fruit that dates back to the 1300s, usually a liqueur or a fortified wine flavored with peach pits, or bitter almonds. In the case of the Giraud Solera Ratafia de Champagne, it's a golden-glinted blend of 30% Chardonnay and 70% Pinot from the Aÿ. The resulting wine exhibits layered aromas of hazelnuts, orange marmalade, steeped black cherries, coco powder and even a subtle, provocative top note of rancio. Silky smooth, with the weight of a Tawny.

My first time drinking solera from Champagne - beautiful and balanced but I prefer the edginess of the great Portuguese solera or the similar whites from Jura

17/20 (92/100) Приятный, многослойный аромат безо всяких тонов спиртуозности или сивушных масел: курага, изюм, грецкий орех, яблочное варенье, ваниль, морёный дуб. Сладкое, но свежее с хорошим уровнем кислотности. Отличный баланс!
