Located in Aÿ, the former capital of wine growing in the Champagne region, as it produced red wines of distinction. Aÿ is a grand cru village, famed for its powerful pinot noir fruit and is also the home of Bollinger, Deutz and Gosset. This is a unique family run maison and has an individual style and a focus on the use of barrel especially from the Argonne Forest, and more recently, clay amphora and concrete eggs. In fact they are aiming to be the first champagne house to move away completely from the use of stainless steel and devote its entire production to oak. Owner Claude Giraud believes in ‘terroir in the forest’ and has worked relentlessly for almost 30 years, understanding this relationship. He created a cuvee named ‘Fût du Chêne’ which embodies this idea. All pinot noir, fermented and aged in barrel. He is famous for stating, “history knows of no great wines without great forests.” If you like characterful champagnes with power and class explore this maison, you will not be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is very much an aperitif champagne, some freshly shucked oysters wouldn't go astray. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2017-09-08T10:55:05+10:00","created_at":"2017-09-08T10:56:09+10:00","vendor":"Henri Giraud","type":"Brut","tags":["Argonne Oak","gift guide","Partial barrel Fermentation","Region: Aÿ","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Concrete eggs","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Partial Barrel-fermentation","Taste: Peach","Taste: Raspberry","Taste: Sage","Taste: White Peach","Taste: Wild Strawberry","Under $100","Year: NV"],"price":8799,"price_min":8799,"price_max":8799,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":737152073756,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"H_GIRAUD_ESPIRIT_SGL","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":2588772958317,"product_id":63484952604,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-05-05T19:33:54+10:00","updated_at":"2018-05-05T19:34:33+10:00","alt":"Henri Giraud Cuvée Espirit Nature NV Brut Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/henri-giraud-espirit-nature-nv-a-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525512873","variant_ids":[737152073756]},"available":true,"name":"Henri Giraud Cuvée Espirit Nature NV - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":8799,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":4,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/henri-giraud-espirit-nature-nv-a-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525512873"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/henri-giraud-espirit-nature-nv-a-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525512873","options":["Please Select"],"content":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the new vision and name for the Esprit Nature using a new wine vessel, which is the concrete egg that makes up 60% of the base wine with the remainder coming from barrels sourced from the Argonne Forest.

Located in Aÿ, the former capital of wine growing in the Champagne region, as it produced red wines of distinction. Aÿ is a grand cru village, famed for its powerful pinot noir fruit and is also the home of Bollinger, Deutz and Gosset. This is a unique family run maison and has an individual style and a focus on the use of barrel especially from the Argonne Forest, and more recently, clay amphora and concrete eggs. In fact they are aiming to be the first champagne house to move away completely from the use of stainless steel and devote its entire production to oak. Owner Claude Giraud believes in ‘terroir in the forest’ and has worked relentlessly for almost 30 years, understanding this relationship. He created a cuvee named ‘Fût du Chêne’ which embodies this idea. All pinot noir, fermented and aged in barrel. He is famous for stating, “history knows of no great wines without great forests.” If you like characterful champagnes with power and class explore this maison, you will not be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is very much an aperitif champagne, some freshly shucked oysters wouldn't go astray. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
