Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Côteaux Champenois A˙ Blanc Cuvée de Croix Courcelles is very good, exhibiting aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, peach, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, layered and precise, its bright spine of acidity is cloaked in an attractive core of fruit.
This was a fascinating tasting at Champagne Henri Giraud, a house well known for its barrel-fermented, muscular and vinous wines. Chef de cave Sébastien Le Golvet, a stonemason by training, explained that Girard farms without pesticides or herbicides and produces their own barrels in collaboration with tonnelleries Chassin, Champenoise, Mercurey and Gauthier. Tirage is just before harvest, so the vins clairs see the better part of a year in wood, on their leessomething that surely helps to account for the textural, patinated house style. Powerful and head turning in their youth, the opportunity to revisit several older wines from the house's library also underscored just how gracefully the Giraud Champagnes can age. As the accompanying reviews attest, I found much to admire and all these releases come warmly recommended.
The champagne sommelier
Aromas of cherries, raspberries, orange rind and spices, framed by a deft touch of toasty oak, introduce the 2018 Côteaux Champenois A˙ Rouge Cuvée des Froides Terres, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine that's seamless and penetrating, with powdery tannins and a sapid finish.

Since the 16th century, Champagne wines have been a staple among the greats of the world. Harvesting and gentle pressing whole bunches of grapes testify to the ancestral know-how of the Champagne region. Respect for the integrity of the berries make the most precious assets for perfect winemaking.
The full, juicy and tangy fruit typical of a great Pinot de Champagne.
Without complex, it carries high the colors of Champagne, land of great wine before being effervescent.

★★★★
Efter de traumatiska åren 2016 och 2017 fick champagneodlarna le igen 2018. Säsongen var dock inte heller problemfri med hagel i maj och en rekordvarm sommar (den näst varmaste någonsin efter 2003). Skörden gav rikedom både i mängd och i koncentrerad juice. Sockermängden och den potentiella alkoholhalten slog i taket. Förvånande nog var syran betydligt högre än väntat, vilket kommer att ge välstrukturerade och mäktiga viner av hög klass. Som vanligt ska man dock ta odlarnas euforiska hyllningar till årgången med en nypa salt. Stilmässigt skulle jag tippa att vi har att göra med någonting mitt emellan 1964 och 1982, och det vore ju inte det sämsta. Maillarts Les Loges är redan fantastisk.
