Producer Information
Champagne Henri Giraud is the one of the oldest Champagne houses still owned by its founding family – the Giraud-Hémart family who have farmed vines in Aÿ since 1625. However, it is only since current head Claude Giraud took over that the wines have been released under the family name.An annual production of around 250,000 bottles is sourced from 10 hectares (25 acres) of estate vineyards, spread over 35 plots, plus fruit bought mostly from family and friends.The flagship release is the rich, voluptuous Fût de Chêne, a Pinot Noir-dominant Champagne blend. Aside from the Blanc de Blancs and the Code Noir Blanc de Noirs, the white wines are typically 70-percent Pinot Noir with 30-percent Chardonnay.
