Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate, issue 162 – December 2006.
This may be the finest Champagne house virtually no one has ever heard of.
These traditionally made, wood-aged Champagnes include a luxury cuvee, the
Grand Cru Ay Fut de Chene, which is reminiscent of Krug in a slightly less
oxidized style. Full-bodied, and tasting more like a honeyed white
Burgundy with bubbles than a Champagne, this is a stunning effort. The
exquisite, full-throttle, truffle-scented 1996 is fresh, and loaded with
concentration :
95 Points.
The fully mature 1995 is capable of lasting another 5-8 years :
94 Points.
The medium-bodied non-vintage Francois Hemart Grand Cru Ay (floral,
chalky, citrus oil and peach blossom scents and flavors abound), this is
one of the finest non-vintage cuvees in the marketplace :
93 Points. |

For
serious luxury, and price tags of over a hundred dollars and more, Dom
Pérignon, Krug and Roederer Cristal all make gifts that would thrill even
the most hardened wine enthusiast. A new name in luxury champagne to me is
Henri Giraud whose 1993 Aÿ Grand Cru in a simple but eye-catching bottle
is sumptuously creamy.” |

“…the quality of this 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 100% grand cru blend
shows why the wines of Aÿ have their reputation. Probably the finest 1993
on the market, very limited supply.”
