Henri Giraud Argonne Rose 2012 AOC 0.75l

Henri Giraud Argonne Rose 2012 AOC 0.75l is a rosé interpretation of the Champagne tradition, designed for those seeking a balance between freshness, structure, and a hint of complexity that slowly unfolds in the glass. It originates in Champagne, a region where light, cellars, and artisanal care shape every stage of the process, refining aromas and textures. The Henri Giraud house, with family roots deeply intertwined with the region's viticulture, maintains a corporate identity dedicated to terroir expertise, responsible use of resources, and a vision that combines respect for tradition with a focus on innovation. Within this framework, Argonne Rose 2012 emerges as the result of rigorous vineyard controls and careful management of fermentation and aging, with a brief maceration that restores the wine's red fruit character without resulting in banal sweetness. The color is a luminous rosé with coral highlights that capture the light and pave the way for a clean bouquet: strawberry, raspberry, and a citrus note reminiscent of grapefruit peel, intertwined with delicate traces of brioche and subtle minerals reminiscent of the wet stone of the area. On the palate, it stands out for its immediate freshness accompanied by a creamy texture and soft carbonation that supports an elegant finish, where the minerality emerges like a straight line through the fruit, offering a sensation of purity and longevity after just a few years of development. Within the Henri Giraud range, Argonne Rose 2012 occupies a prominent position as a mature expression of the house's passion for rosé interpretation: not simply a variation, but a wine that invites moments of gourmet conversation, pairing well with seafood appetizers, tuna sushi, or light vegetable dishes, without overpowering but rather enriching the table. In closing, Argonne Rose 2012 presents itself as a wine capable of accompanying an evening dedicated to the art of conviviality, a choice that reflects STELT's philosophy of understated excellence: understated elegance, a clear identity and an authentic presence of the terroir.
