✨ 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 F t de Ch ne MV (Multi-Vintage) cuv es. 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
Rooted in the historic Grand Cru village of Aÿ since 1625, Champagne Henri Giraud represents a benchmark in vinous, artisanal Champagne production. Stewarded by 12th-generation proprietor Claude Giraud alongside cellar master and son-in-law Sébastien Le Golvet, the house is renowned for championing Pinot Noir cultivated on deep, south-facing belemnite chalk slopes. Henri Giraud is celebrated for reviving the historical practice of fermenting and maturing base wines exclusively in new and seasoned casks coopered from local Argonne Forest oak, as well as sandstone and terracotta amphorae, entirely eliminating stainless steel. Viticulture adheres to rigorous sustainable standards, eschewing pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides under a certified zero-residue protocol. The estate produces richly textured, vinous champagnes defined by intense chalky minerality, structural depth, and micro-oxygenated nuance. Flagship cuvées include the prestigious vintage oak-aged Argonne, the perpetual reserve multi-vintage Fût de Chêne MV series, and the PR Perpetual Reserve bottlings.
