Giraud's NV Hommage François Hemart is a consistently delicious wine, as it is once again this year. Smoke, slate, almond and dried pear meld together in an approachable, open-knit Champagne that drinks well today. With time in the glass, the richness of Pinot becomes more apparent, but the Hommage remains the brightest and most approachable of the wines in the range. Disgorged June 4, 2014.

Henri Giraud's non-vintaged Hommage à François Hémart Brut is a clear, lemon-fresh, fruity and slightly minty flavored 70/30 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Aÿ, aged six months each in tank and later in Argonne oak. Silky-textured, juicy-round and elegant in the mouth, this is a bright and invigorating, remarkably biting Champagne with a robust, but fine character. The finish is young and fresh, and indicates a good ageing potential for up to five years. (Stephan Reinhardt)

There is potential for development and some minerality, but dominance is heavy Aÿ pinot. Lovely wine that tastes like Bollinger standard cuvée did once in the past. I would have added slightly less sugar.
