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.
