Blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Henri Giraud's NV Brut Rosé fleshes out beautifully in the glass with layers of deeply expressive, generous fruit. This big, broad-shouldered Rose needs to be served with food (Lobster, Crab, Tuna, Salmon...). The rich, vinous style shoes impressive concentration and depth in its dark red fruit. This is an imposing Rose, but the balance is there.

The Giraud-Hemart family cultivates the vine on the terroir or the Ay Grand Cru since the 17th century. Starting from this heritage, here is a cuvee raised up like a great wine, aged on the whole lees, combining the purest tradition with the best of progress : this is the true nature of the wines of Champagne.

  • Contemporary of Henri IV and his descendants, the Hémart family settled permanently in Aÿ at the beginning of the 17th century.
  • Henri Giraud is one of the rare Champagne houses that remains independent and family-run, by Claude Giraud, the 12th generation of the family at the helm of the house today. 
  • The maison owns 10 hectares, mainly planted to Pinot Noir on chalk soils, and purchases grapes from selected growers for a total equivalent of 25 hectares at its disposal.
  • Among these are fabulous Grand Crus, providing prime fruit for the house’s top cuvées.
  • Much has happened since the American wine critic Robert Parker wrote: “Henri Giraud, the greatest champagne you’ve never heard of”, a phrase he repeated often, followed by: “This is the way I think Krug SHOULD taste”. 
  • The whole vineyard is worked in sustainable viticulture and under certification of high environmental value (HVE).
  • With only 250,000 bottles of which only a few thousand bottles for its grande cuvees, these champagnes are sought-after by collectors and lovers of great wines from around the world.
