The 2015 Argonne is a powerful, richly textured and profoundly expressive Champagne — one of the most coveted cuvées from Henri Giraud. Built on a warm, ripe vintage, it delivers incredible concentration, depth and opulence, while retaining the house’s trademark tension and saline edge.

The nose is explosive: yellow peach, baked citrus, poached pear, spice, toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean, and mineral smoke. The palate is dense, expansive and velvety, with layers of ripe stone fruit, brioche, almond cream and fine oak spice seamlessly integrated from the bespoke Argonne barrels.

Aÿ Pinot Noir drives the wine with power and structure, yet the finish remains precise, salty, long and architectural — a hallmark of Giraud’s terroir-focused style.
