Henri Giraud Hommage au Pinot Noir Non millésimé
A family house rooted in the heart of Champagne
Henri Giraud is located in Aÿ, one of Champagne’s most prestigious Grand Cru villages. For twelve generations, the Giraud family has cultivated vines here, crafting wines with a distinctive style that combines elegance, depth, and a strong connection to the land.
A unique approach to oak from the Argonne forest
What sets Henri Giraud apart is its use of oak barrels made from trees in the Argonne forest. These barrels add structure and aromatic complexity, acting as a true extension of the terroir. The precise, thoughtful use of oak gives each cuvée a distinctive signature that is rare in the Champagne region.
Pinot Noir as the backbone of identity
Pinot Noir is the cornerstone of the estate, and in Aÿ, it expresses itself with remarkable richness and depth. Often blended with Chardonnay, it gives rise to complex, vibrant, and textured champagnes. The vines are cultivated with great care, using sustainable methods and deep respect for the environment.
Characterful and ambitious cuvées
The Henri Giraud range includes expressive and gastronomic champagnes such as Esprit Nature, Dame-Jane, Fût de Chêne, and Argonne. These are powerful yet refined wines, many of which are oak-aged, designed for lovers of bold, terroir-driven champagnes. The house offers a precise, artisanal, and free-spirited take on Champagne.
A respected and independent voice in Champagne
Henri Giraud represents an independent and innovative vision of Champagne. With a strong focus on site expression, natural methods, and the return of French oak in the cellar, the house has established a unique and highly sought-after identity. A must-know name for connoisseurs of signature grower champagnes.
