Esprit Nature (Ephemeral Gift Box) 75cl

A golden robe with green glints, fine and regular mousse. On the nose, aromas of Granny Smith apple, damp chalk and fresh almond, lifted by a brioche note from the reserve wines. On the palate, the attack is lively and saline, the texture precise and taut, the finish dry and mineral — the hallmark…

Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Lively and saline, driven by the complete absence of dosage and the mineral character of the Aÿ Grand Cru terroirs.
Roundness
Ageing in Argonne oak casks lends a subtle velvety quality that tempers the dryness of the Brut Nature.
Structure
The dominant Pinot Noir asserts a structured presence without ever overpowering the wine's finesse.
Length
A clean and persistent finish, marked by a mineral salinity and notes of fresh almond.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with green glints, fine and regular mousse. On the nose, aromas of Granny Smith apple, damp chalk and fresh almond, lifted by a brioche note from the reserve wines. On the palate, the attack is lively and saline, the texture precise and taut, the finish dry and mineral — the hallmark of a Brut Nature of exceptional integrity.

Terroirs

A blend centred on the vines of Aÿ Grand Cru, the historic heartland of the house in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, complemented by reserve wines drawn from a perpetual reserve established in 1990 and aged in Argonne oak casks.

Henri Giraud

About this house

Henri Giraud is a family house rooted in Aÿ Grand Cru since 1625, whose philosophy is etched in a few words in the cellar: "Forbid oneself nothing, oblige oneself to nothing. Make good wine, naturally." Led today by the 12th and 13th generations, with Sébastien Le Golvet at the helm of winemaking — named among the 50 finest winemakers in France by Le Figaro in 2023 — the house cultivates a rare identity: the singularity of the Aÿ terroir and the systematic ageing of its wines in Argonne oak casks.

A pioneer in sustainability, Henri Giraud was the first Champagne house to obtain pesticide-residue-free certification for its Esprit Nature. This commitment is further expressed in the Coffret Éphémère: an innovative presentation box whose walls incorporate seed discs to be planted once the champagne has been enjoyed — a gesture as elegant as it is purposeful.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its zero-dosage vivacity and fine bubbles perfectly complement the light, moreish crunch of cheese gougères.

Starter

Starter

The saline minerality of the Brut Nature engages elegantly with the delicacy of a sea bass carpaccio.

The citrus-edged tension and precision of the Pinot Noir pair naturally with the beurre noisette of a sole meunière.
