Henri Giraud, Ay Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs 2013 (OWC of 1)

Gorgeous notes of hazelnuts, apricots, salted almonds, lemons and pistachio shells. Medium to full body with opulence, yet elegance, and a silky quality to the bubbles. Saline and gourmand finish. Nutty and light French-butter notes come through. Only 2,000 bottles. Drink or hold. Tasted by James Suckling in June 2022.
