TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, Argonne oak delivers notes of toasted brioche, dried fruits and gentle spices over an elegant floral backdrop. The palate opens broad and creamy: the generous substance of Pinot Noir integrates with a precise acidity, leading to a long, enveloping finish.

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru of Aÿ, one of the 17 most prestigious villages in Champagne, celebrated for its Pinot Noirs of rare depth grown on south-facing chalky soils. The perpetual reserve built since 1990 anchors every blend in the aromatic memory of the place.

Henri Giraud

About this house

Established in Aÿ Grand Cru since 1625, Henri Giraud is one of the rare Houses to vinify all its wines in Argonne oak casks — a neighbouring forest whose distinctive timber contributes to the unique aromatic identity of each cuvée.

Under the guidance of Claude Giraud, the House has established itself as a world reference for artisan Champagne, uniting centuries-old tradition with uncompromising modern standards. The Fût de Chêne MV is its founding cuvée, built around a perpetual reserve begun in 1990.
