✨ Technical Specifications

The Enneade Collection by Champagne Henri Giraud is an extraordinary, highly limited vertical offering whose name derives from the Greek word for a group of nine. This ultimate collector's set brings together nine successive editions of the house's legendary Ft de Chne MV (Multi-Vintage) cuves. Sourced entirely from the historic Grand Cru terroir of A, these wines represent the pinnacle of Henri Giraud's revolutionary return to forest-specific oak vinification. Each bottle in the collection has been vinified and aged in oak casks crafted from the nearby Argonne Forest, highlighting the subtle variations of base years and the profound impact of terroir-specific wood. The collection serves as a liquid archive of the house's mastery over oxygen, oak, and the rich, vinous character of Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

🍾 About the Producer

Tracing its viticultural heritage in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ back to 1625 through the Hémart family, Champagne Henri Giraud is one of the most distinctive and artisanal Champagne houses. Today steered by Claude Giraud, the twelfth generation of the founding family, the estate is celebrated for reviving the historic tradition of vinifying and maturing Champagne exclusively in local oak barrels sourced from the nearby Forest of Argonne. Embracing organic practices and minimal intervention, Giraud champions powerful, Pinot Noir-dominant cuvées marked by intense vinous complexity, fine salinity, and exceptional aging potential. Iconic expressions such as the prestige cuvée Argonne, the Fût de Chêne MV series, and Hommage à François Hémart epitomize the house's dedication to terroir-driven richness and visionary craftsmanship.
