Dame Jane

Dame Jane is the rosé from Henri Giraud, and it follows its own path. It comes from Pinot Noir grown on vines more than 60 years old. Vinification takes place in oak barrels from the Argonne forest. The red wine used for the rosé is aged in terracotta jars, a fitting nod to the goddess of clay who gives the cuvée its name and its image.

In the glass you find red fruit, above all wild strawberries and raspberries, along with brioche and toasted bread. On the palate it is crisp and juicy, with the aromas from the nose returning. At around 10 years it has considerable ageing potential. Drink it at about 10 to 12°C from a large white wine glass, ideally with fillet of beef or flambéed veal kidneys.
