Henri Giraud Ratafia de Champagne 50cl
Henri Giraud Ratafia de Champagne features the delightful alchemy, discovered in the 13th century, that allows us to taste the caress of this Champagne grape juice magnificently transcended. Patiently, the fruitiest juices, chosen from the best cuvees, were raised in small oak barrels and then blended around a heart of Pinot Noir D’Aÿ.

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
With meals, the magnificent creamy smooth texture and aromatic complexity enable daringly flamboyant matches with foie gras, sweet and savoury preserved meats (tajine, game with fruits) the richest cheeses, washed rind cheeses (Langres, Maroilles, Livarot, Munster, Epoisses…) accompanied by jam, for example, pressed uncooked cheeses (Cantal, Tomme) and, of course, the whole range of desserts, through to after dinner sweetmeats.
Note: This is a still fortified wine and not a champagne. (Ratafia is an ancestral method of preserving fruit juice in the same way that salting was used to preserve meat. Soléra is an ancestral method of maturing and gradually assembling different vintages, generally used for the great Port wines). This style of wine is like tasting an insight into very old mature Vintage Champagnes. A delightful pleasure.
