Henri Giraud 2016 'Argonne' Aÿ Grand Cru Brut, Champagne, France

This is a powerful but elegant wine with a wealth of citrus-fruit freshness, blood orange and grapefruit, as well as toast, dried citrus blossom, white lavender, clove, cardamom and spices. Tense and driven, with so much mineral freshness and focus.
