As usual MV is 80% Pinot Noir & 20% Chardonnay, all from grand cru vineyards – fermented in oak from the nearby Argonne forest, which is a signature of the maison. The base wine from the 2020 vintage is blended with one third reserve wine from Giraud’s réserve perpétuelle, a solera which began in 1990. Jancis Robinson compared a previous vintage to “A sort of Montrachet of Champagne!” whilst Galloni said they are “Some of the most unique, individualistic wines in Champagne… At their best, the Giraud Champagnes offer incredible intensity, class and balance.” Meanwhile Robert Parker famously claimed, “This is the way I think Krug SHOULD taste”. 

What the critics say:

97/100James Suckling

"A wild energy here with sliced dried apricots, lychees, Asian pears and iodine. Chalk. Medium-bodied, it has a very tight palate with elegance and structure. Extremely long and polished. Pinot noir with a dash of chardonnay. Aged 11 months in 50% old and 50% new wood barrels. Dosage 5 g/L. Disgorged November 2024. Drink or hold."

95/100Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The MV20 is fabulous. It’s not an obvious wine but rather a Champagne built on finesse and understatement more than anything else. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint and chalk open first, followed by light tropical accents that appear with a bit of time in the glass. This is such a racy, classy Champagne."
