Henri Giraud Solera Ratafia Vieillissement Exceptionnel

Renowned for its great adaptability, Chardonnay adapts well to all types of soil and perfectly sublimates all the nuances of the Champagne terroir. The special feature of this cuvée is its exceptional ageing. After a low-intensity vinification, the wine is matured for six months in the cool, quiet cellars of the Marne. The wine is then transferred to glass demi johns for a further six months. Finally, the cuvée spends a further four years in barrels before being bottled.
On the nose, the wine is charming, with delicate aromas of almond and hazelnut, accompanied by notes of candied citrus. On the palate, a silky, refined texture blends perfectly with notes of stone fruit. The balance of fine acidity and incredibly bitter freshness leads to a savoury finish with hints of hazelnut.
