N.V. Henri Giraud Champagne Hommage au Pinot Noir Aÿ

80 points

DG 10/21. Rather thin on the nose and the palate at first. Not much going on here. A touch of pear? After a bit of time, a little more weight but not much. Somewhat disappointed. Still faint notes of pear, some oak starting to show through after thirty minutes or so. Not much acidity. Eh.

About two and a half hours after opening, as I cleaned the table, noticing there was a quarter-glass or so left in the bottle I poured it into my glass. Seems to be getting better. Huh. Do these NVs just need to age awhile?

As Girauds in this second-level price category go, I’ll rank it above the rose but below the Blanc de Craie.
