Champagne Henri Giraud位於Aÿ特級村,酒莊歷史可以追溯到1625年,然而在1990年以前,僅有歐洲皇室、以及法國境內的重要顧客,才有機會一品Henri Giraud香檳的非凡風華。英國專業葡萄酒雜誌《Decanter》指出,Henri Giraud顯然在香檳世界中養成了自己獨特的風格與定位。
第十二代傳人Claude Giraud曾經說過:「沒有偉大的森林,就沒有偉大的葡萄酒」,Henri Giraud的旗艦款Argonne香檳更是土地與人文共生的象徵之一,酒莊長期以來與法國國家林務局French National Forestry Office (ONF)合作,不僅深入了解這片森林,也致力確保森林永續發展。從2013年開始,酒莊與法國國家林務局共同發起“Forever and ever, Argonne”的計畫,每賣出一瓶Argonne香檳,就會在森林中種植一棵2年樹齡的新橡樹,至今已經種植了超過45,000顆新樹。
