The Henri Giraud Fut de Chene MV18 is a multi-vintage champagne that represents the house`s flagship cuvée. The ‘MV’ in the name stands for "multi-vintage," indicating that the wine is a blend of different vintages, while "18" refers to the base vintage of the blend. This particular cuvée is unique because it is aged in French oak barrels, which is not a common practice in the Champagne region. The oak barrels, or ‘futs de chene’ in French, contribute to the wine`s complexity, depth, and rich flavours. The blend typically includes both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, sourced from the finest vineyards in the region.
