And you don’t need to have Champagne, but Toni and I drink champagne every night so it’s not a challenge to host two to three events a month featuring Champagne and scientists have just proven that Champagne is good for your cognitive functions- IE your brain. Check out the scientists’ evidence at the end of this e-mail and get your Champagne here!!
We have a special night planned on Thursday, April 17th with one of the small family-owned Champagne houses and we have discovered. The export director for Champagne Henri Giraud will be here to introduce these amazing bubbles to our “Champagne Drinking People”.
Discover one of the oldest Champagne houses still owned by its founding family – the Giraud-Hémart family who have farmed vines in Aÿ since 1625. However, it is only since current head Claude Giraud took over that the wines have been released under the family name.
The annual production is around 250,000 bottles and the grapes are sourced from 10 hectares (25 acres) of estate vineyards, spread over 35 plots, plus fruit bought for the most part from family and friends.
The rich, voluptuous Fût de Chêne is a Pinot Noir-dominant blend. Aside from the Blanc de Blancs and the Code Noir Blanc de Noirs, the white wines are typically 70-percent Pinot Noir with 30-percent Chardonnay. The of oak is a feature of all cuvées except the standard Esprit de Giraud. The Blanc de Blancs features just a small proportion of oak-aged Chardonnay, while the base wine for the Hommage sees six months in oak barrels.
The Pinot Noir for the Code Noir is fermented and aged in Argonne oak, as is the Fût de Chêne vintage wine. The house's promotion of wood from this forest led to the introduction of the specific, Argonne cuvées, which have supplanted Fût de Chêne at the top of the range.
Join us as we taste through the entire line of Champagnes from this amazing boutique Champagne house. The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $295 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463.
