In 1625, François Hémart settled in the village of Aÿ and began to produce champagne. Today Claude Giraud, son of Henri Giraud and the 12th generation of the family, presides over the estate’s destiny and produces the Giraud champagnes in Aÿ.

The estate is located at the Aÿ Grand Cru comprised with 33,500 hectares of land, only less than 9% in that area can be classified as 100% Grand Cru and Henri Giraud Champagne is one of the few. Over 1000 years, there are only 323 vineyards in the area and Aÿ Grand Cru is the exemplar of all Grand Cru, at the same time here grows the best Pinot Noir.

Henri Giraud previously only supplied their wine to European Royal Families and celebrities (including Queen Elizabeth II and David Beckham). Only in 2003 when Onereddot Fine Wines imported Henri Giraud to Asia were we able to taste these exquisite Champagnes. From 2004 to 2018, Henri Giraud was the Official Exclusive Champagne for Winning Horse Owners at The Hong Kong Jockey Club. We have been importing this brand directly from the Champagne House into Hong Kong and China until 2019.
