NV Henri Giraud PR 90-19

Time is integral to all exceptional wine, but it is the critical component in Henri Giraud’s PR 90-19. Drawing inspiration from philosophy and physics, the “Perpetual Reserve” is a voyage through Henri Giraud’s vintage history.

The imagery on the bottle offers a metaphysical nod to the role of time in every aspect of this wine. The design features a stylised equation symbolising the compression of time and space, representing the span of vintages and spatial distances captured in this single cuvée.

Produced from a solera system, this mostly Pinot Noir blend, with some Chardonnay, is constructed solely from the estate’s “solera” reserve wine.

Tasting Note: “The center palate to this is impressive with light salted caramel, toffee, dried apple and peach skin. It opens to reveal aromas and flavors of sea salt, oyster shell and chalk. Medium to full body. Some crème brûlée. Creamy texture. Extremely long and complex at the end. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. Blend of two solera systems of perpetual reserve, started in 1990.” – James Suckling
