    Description Henri Giraud Blanc de Craie

    Estate

    Henri Giraud is one of the oldest and most esteemed Champagne houses, based in Aÿ. Known for its artisanal methods and use of oak from the Argonne forest, the estate emphasizes terroir expression. The house produces character-driven Champagnes that blend precision with richness. This Blanc de Blancs is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay. A refined reflection of the house’s commitment to quality.

    Vineyard

    The grapes come from carefully selected plots planted solely with Chardonnay. These top-tier sites benefit from chalky soils typical of Champagne, enhancing tension and minerality. Sustainable viticulture is practiced to preserve soil and vine health. The cool climate helps ensure slow, balanced grape ripening. The result is a wine of elegance and freshness.

    Wine

    This non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne highlights the purity of Chardonnay. It stands out for its aromatic precision, freshness, and well-defined structure. Appreciated for its finesse and mineral character, it pairs well with seafood or as an aperitif. Rated 90 points by Robert Parker. A signature cuvée true to Champagne tradition.

    Vintage

    This is a non-vintage (NV) Champagne, blending several harvest years to ensure consistency and house style. This approach offers balance despite vintage variations and adds complexity. Each cuvée delivers depth and continuity. It reflects the domaine’s steady quality over time. Ideal for regular enjoyment with a faithful expression of the estate’s identity.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification occurs largely in oak barrels, following Henri Giraud’s traditional methods. Fermentation is closely monitored to preserve the Chardonnay's freshness. The wine is aged on fine lees before secondary fermentation, enhancing texture. It spends at least 24 months ageing in the cellar. Dosage is carefully balanced for optimal precision.

    Grape Variety

    100% Chardonnay
