Gault&Millau's review 2027

This inviting nose reveals notes of flowers, apricot, and incense. On the palate, the creamy texture and silky bubbles reach new heights of elegance. This enchanting velvety smoothness, carried by a lively tension, lingers into a spicy finish. Noble oak notes promise a smooth aging process. Pair this sophistication with a cream-braised chicken. A magnificent creation.

Henri Giraud

A member of the exclusive Union des Maisons de Champagne (UMC), this family—which has been based in the village of Aÿ since the 17th century—currently cultivates 10 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards. The house uses oak barrels from the Argonne Forest, which gives its champagnes a distinctive elegance and subtle oak character. Winemaking in oval-shaped stoneware vats enhances the expression of the terroirs and the wines’ vibrancy. This approach, pioneered by Claude Giraud and now carried on by Emmanuelle, the thirteenth generation of the family, is one worth emulating.
