Henri Giraud Hommage au Pinot Noir (75cl)

A Champagne built around Pinot Noir, which usually means a fuller, rounder shape than lighter Chardonnay styles. It is suited to roast chicken, char siu, or a table of people who want to talk about what they are drinking, and it handles food well enough to be the only bottle opened at dinner. Pinot Noir-based Champagne typically shows red berry and stone fruit with a bready, slightly nutty edge from time on lees, and a firm, dry finish. Serve cold but not ice-cold, around 8-10°C.
