Henri Giraud Dame Jane Brut Rose Champagne

The nose opens with aromas of orange peel, clay minerality, spices, cranberry, and a light suggestion of stone fruits. On the palate this is moderate in weight with the sandstone vessel contributing minerality to the spice tinged blood orange and apricot fruit tone.  D&M Tasting Notes

Goddess of fertility, a terracotta statuette from the end of prehistory, Dame-Jane symbolizes their link to the earth and the origin of wine. Raising a great rosé champagne in terracotta is not common.

More than 50 amphoras are now dedicated to the vinification and ageing of Dame-Jane. The famous turries (medium capacity container, exclusively made of sandston) of Damghan, a small Persian town on the Silk Road, now watch over the treasure of the house. Aged for at least 3 years on lees. Importer Notes
