Champagne Henri Giraud

Argonne 2017

The Champagne Argonne by Henri Giraud represents the most radical expression of the Maison’s philosophy, where the Grand Cru terroir of Aÿ and the connection with the Argonne forest merge into a unique identity-driven project. The grapes come from two historic parcels, Les Valnons for Pinot Noir and Croix Courcelles for Chardonnay, interpreted through an approach that places the dialogue between soil, grape variety and wood at its core, resulting in a cuvée of remarkable depth and precision.

This edition, Millésime 2017, a vintage that delivered wines with a fine balance between ripeness and freshness, is composed of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. Vinification and maturation take place entirely in new oak barrels from the Argonne forest, personally selected by Claude Giraud and crafted through a stave seasoning process lasting three to six years. After bottling, the wine undergoes over 72 months of ageing on the lees, enhancing both complexity and aromatic depth. The final dosage of around 5 g/l, in Brut style, preserves balance and tension, fully respecting the wine’s identity.

On the palate, Argonne 2017 shows an intense golden color with amber reflections and a deep aromatic profile, revealing notes of dried rose, beeswax, cedar, gingerbread and acacia honey, evolving into toasted hazelnut, salted caramel and candied citrus. The palate is broad and enveloping, supported by a creamy texture and a savory, mineral backbone that brings energy and depth. The finish is extremely long, stretched between chalky nuances and lingering citrus notes, with a refined balance between power and elegance.

Henri Giraud

The Maison Henri Giraud boasts an illustrious history that dates back to 1628, when the Hémart family settled in Aÿ, one of the most prestigious Grand Cru of the Vallée de la Marne. At the beginning of the 20th century, the marriage between Léon Giraud and Madeleine Hémart marked a new era for the Maison, with the reconstruction of vineyards devastated by phylloxera and the consolidation of the family tradition. Today, the winery is led by the thirteenth generation with Emmanuelle Giraud, a direct descendant of the founder, who continues to uphold the legacy of excellence and savoir-faire.

The vineyards of the Maison extend across the communes of Aÿ, Dizy, and Mutigny, with a predominance of Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, both cultivated using sustainable methods to preserve the balance of the terroir. One of the Maison’s distinctive aspects is the use of oak barrels from the Argonne forest for the fermentation and aging of each cuvée, a technique reintroduced in the 1990s, which gives the Champagne depth, complexity, and structure. The wood, used with precision, enhances the nuances of each wine without ever overpowering its purity and elegance.

The philosophy of Henri Giraud is based on a balance between tradition, innovation, and sustainability. Committed to biodiversity and environmental protection, the Maison has launched several initiatives, including collaboration with the French National Forestry Office (ONF) in the “Forever & Ever, Argonne” project, dedicated to the reforestation of the historic forest from which the oak for its barrels is sourced. This commitment, combined with a constant pursuit of quality, makes Henri Giraud one of the most prestigious Champagne Maisons, a symbol of excellence and innovation.
