Henri Giraud

'Esprit Nature' Champagne NV

Henri Giraud’s Esprit Nature embodies the finesse and strength of Aÿ’s Grand Cru terroir. Crafted mostly from Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, it’s a Champagne of luminous energy—fresh pear, citrus and green apple glide over a savoury spine of chalk and spice. Fermented in oak and aged in amphora, it marries texture and tension, a seamless blend of fruit and minerality. Zero dosage keeps the palate taut and precise, revealing the natural richness of its chalk and clay-limestone soils. Rooted in centuries of tradition yet forward-thinking in its approach to sustainability, Esprit Nature is Champagne stripped back to its purest form—vivid, refined and effortlessly expressive.
