Henri Giraud PR 20 - 90 Non Vintage

Tasting Notes

The MV PR 20-90 is a blend of reserve wines from 2020 to 1990, with the youngest vintage accounting for about 30%, taken from the MV and Esprit programs. Soft, silky contours wrap around a core of green apple, lemon confit, ripe pear and white flowers. This understated, gracious Champagne is quite the charmer. Disgorged: December 19, 2023. Drink: 2024-2032.

This has so much energy and vivacity and refined, vinous character. It’s dry and focused with notes of bread crust, grapefruit, dried orange, chalk and a hint of clove. All about the tension. Long and tightly wound. 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. One third perpetual reserve of cuvee MV and two thirds perpetual reserve of cuvee Esprit. Disgorged December 2023. Dosage 5g/L. Drink or hold.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, August 2024

Crafted from one-third of MV's perpetual reserve and two-thirds of Esprit's perpetual reserve, the NV PR 90/20 shows brilliantly today. Evoking aromas of vanilla pod, spices, beeswax and argan, it's full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a creamy, vinous texture and a gastronomic bitterness. It concludes with a slightly phenolic, tannic, long and superb finish. Drinking window: 2024-2044
