TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber glints, threaded through with a fine, persistent bead. On the nose, ripe apricot, white blossom and toasted brioche intertwine with vanilla and liquorice — subtle signatures of the Forêt d'Argonne oak. On the palate, the texture is velvety, the acidity precise, and a long, spiced finish lingers on white pepper, candied lemon and a delicate hint of fresh walnut.

Terroirs

Sourced entirely from Aÿ Grand Cru — the house's historic heartland since 1625 — this multi-vintage blends two thirds of the 2019 harvest with a perpetual reserve begun in 1990. The whole is aged for twelve months in Forêt d'Argonne oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year old).

Henri Giraud

About this house

Founded in 1625 in Aÿ, Henri Giraud is one of the oldest and most distinctive Champagne houses in the region. Claude Giraud, who leads the house today, has made the ageing of wines in Forêt d'Argonne oak barrels — a forest historically tied to Champenois coopers — the unmistakable hallmark of the Giraud style.

With just ten hectares of Grand Cru vines and a deliberately small production, Henri Giraud embodies artisanal excellence: each cuvée reflects a precise terroir, a savoir-faire passed down through generations, and a philosophy that prizes complexity and depth over easy charm.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its fine bead and brioche aromas come into their own alongside golden comté gougères — a classic pairing that never goes out of fashion.

Starter

The champagne's citrus tension and oaky roundness converse elegantly with citrus-cured salmon gravlax and fresh herbs.

Main Course

Main Course

The power of the Pinot Noir and the tertiary notes of Argonne oak find a natural echo in the umami richness of a morel mushroom risotto.
