fût de chêne mv Rosé

The Fût de Chêne MV Rosé from Henri Giraud is built around a core of Pinot Noir from the Aÿ Grand Cru. It ages for a long time in barrels from the Argonne forest and shows a colour known as "partridge eye", a delicate, slightly coppery pink. As a multi-vintage, it deliberately takes its time and forgoes the haste of a young assemblage.

On the palate, the chalk of Aÿ settles on the tip of the tongue, joined by red fruits and mandarin. Saltiness and fine tannins give structure, while a note of cured meat adds presence. That opens up many paths at the table: duck breast, tuna or fine charcuterie. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a wide white wine glass so the aromas can unfold. A rosé-gold clasp, engraved like a wedding ring, adorns the bottle.
