Wine Critic Robert Parker asks on Twitter : « What does everyone think about today’s wine market? »

As reported in this article from UK Magazine Decanter, Champagne Henri Giraud presented recently the results of a quarter of century of research on the winemaking of fine wines in oak barrels. With nearly 200 guests from 16 countries, Claude Giraud held an inspiring speech and officially announced that a portion of the sales of Champagne Argonne will be reinvested each year for the replanting and maintenance of the forest under the control of the National Forest Office (ONF).
