Dame-Jane symbolizes Champagne Giraud’s link to
the earth and the origin of wine. Raising a great rosé Champagne in terracotta is not common. The vibration of the fruit on a crystalline purity. An impression of freshness that is almost tactile. Silky tannins enriched by the slow rotation of the lees. More than 50 sandstone amphora are now dedicated to the vinification and ageing of Dame- Jane.
The fruit and mousse are remarkably expressive, and it’s really hard to resist the charm of this exciting Rosé. I find it really stunning how much the wine gains (finesse and roundness) with the addition of Pinot Noir. The red wine is fermented and aged in Dame-Jane (amphora) gaining outstanding finess and roundness in this unique Champagne making process.
