The history of the family is deeply rooted with the exceptional terroir of Aÿ and intimately mixed with the extraordinary epic of Champagne. At the beginning of the 20th century, Léon Giraud, cuirassier of the Marne Battle, married a young lady Hémart. He rebuilt the magnificent vineyard of the family that had just been devastated by phylloxera and First World War. Claude Giraud, 12th generation of the Giraud-Hémart family, today presides over the destiny of this Champagne House.
Champagne Giraud brings the quintessence of Pinot Noir and of the exceptional Aÿ Grand Cru terroir. Its distinctive identity is elevated by the unapologetic use of oak from Champagne’s Argonne forest during the vinification and raising of its Champagnes. It results in Champagne of strong personality, unique saltiness, minerality and energy.
