Henri Giraud Champagne Esprit Nature Brut 750ml
92 POINTS: WINE ADVOCATE – Based on the 2017 vintage (complemented with some 50% from the house’s perpetual reserve) and disgorged in January 2020, the latest rendition of the NV Brut Esprit Nature is showing very well, mingling aromas of yellow orchard fruit and peach with nuances of toasted bread, candied peel, white flowers, clear honey and fresh almonds. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it’s elegantly vinous, with lively acids and a long, delicately oak-inflected finish. Fermented in barrels, some 20% of the blend derives from domaine holdings. -William Kelly
