Henri Giraud : Esprit Nature Brut

The minerality and richness of a champagne crafted by Henri Giraud

The estate

Generosity, freshness, and minerality are the three defining characteristics of the Champagne Henri Giraud House, established since the 17th century in the terroir of Aÿ and its Grand Crus.

Attentive to its vineyard, Henri Giraud produces cuvées that, through minimal intervention winemaking, perfectly express the Champagne terroirs.

Advocating for the quality of natural wines and “Zero Pesticide,” Henri Giraud was the first house to display, as early as January 2018, an informative label providing access via QR Code to comprehensive analysis results of its cuvées.

Vineyard

The terroir of the Champagne Henri Giraud House owes its uniqueness to its full southern exposure, its chalky subsoil, and the cool, humid current of the Marne flowing towards Paris.

The wine

The Esprit Nature Brut cuvée from Henri Giraud reflects the philosophy of this house, which is deeply committed to protecting nature.

The paper oak depicted on the label refers to a sculpture by Claudine Divry, created from recycled newspaper, symbolizing the fragility of Nature in the face of human activity. Measuring 4 meters high and installed at the heart of the estate, this sculpture echoes the Giraut oak, at least three centuries old and among the finest tree species in the Argonne forest, whose protection is preserved by the Giraud house through a partnership with the National Forests Office.

Blend

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
