Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance

A saline, citrus-edged vivacity underpinned by the natural acidity of Grand Cru d'Aÿ vines.

The generous, fleshy character of Pinot Noir from Aÿ envelops the palate with breadth and silky softness.

Partial oak ageing and the concentration of old vines lend a remarkable aromatic depth.

A persistent finish with accents of toasted hazelnut, gentle spice and chalky minerality.

TASTING NOTES

A deep golden robe with copper highlights, threaded with a fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens on ripe cherry and raspberry, buttered brioche and gentle spice — a clear expression of the generosity of Pinot Noir from Aÿ. The palate is broad and silky, carried by mirabelle plum, toasted hazelnut and a long saline finish of rare mineral precision.

100%Pinot Noir

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vines in Aÿ (Vallée de la Marne), planted above a subsoil of stratified coccoliths some 90 million years old, imparting to the Pinot Noir an unmatched minerality and complexity.

Henri Giraud

About this house

A grower family rooted in Aÿ since 1625, Henri Giraud is one of the rare houses to claim an absolute terroir identity: every cuvée is born from the Grand Cru d'Aÿ, a historic vineyard planted over 90-million-year-old coccoliths.

Under the stewardship of Claude Giraud and his son-in-law Sébastien Le Golvet (cellar master, ranked among France's 50 finest winemakers by Le Figaro in 2023), the house upholds a singular style rooted in partial ageing in Argonne oak casks and in blending reserve wines that sometimes date back to the 1990s.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish

Its fine bubbles and lively minerality are a natural match for comté gougères — instinctive and deeply satisfying.

Starter

The richness and silky roundness of Pinot Noir from Aÿ find perfect resonance with the melting tenderness of pan-fried foie gras.

The aromatic power and spiced notes of the champagne elevate duck breast with gentle spices — a classic and elegant pairing.
