Champagne Giraud can trace its history as far back as 1625 when François Hémart settled in the village of Aÿ in the heart of Champagne, and acquired vines. The history of the family is deeply rooted with the terroir of exception of Aÿ and intimately mixed with the extraordinary epic of Champagne. At the beginning of the 20th century, Léon Giraud, cuirassier of the Marne Battle, married a young lady Hémart. He rebuilt the magnificent vineyard of the family that had just been devastated by phylloxera and First World War.
Claude Giraud, 12th generation of the Giraud-Hémart family, today presides over the destiny of this Champagne House.
