Pale gold with a fine, dancing mousse, Craie is Champagne at its most precise and poetic. Aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and fresh brioche mingle with notes of crushed chalk, almond and spring blossom. The palate is vibrant and sculpted with layers of lemon curd, pear and mineral tension unfolding over a creamy, lees-driven texture. Focused, elegant and saline, it finishes long, pure and effortlessly refined.

For when: you want quiet luxury in your glass.
Pairs with: oysters, tempura prawns, or creamy risotto with lemon and herbs.
If this wine were a material, it’d be marble, smooth, luminous, and full of character beneath the polish.

Craie Blanc de Blancs is Henri Giraud’s tribute to the pure chalk soils of Aÿ and the Montagne de Reims, from which this luminous Chardonnay draws its name and spirit. Fermented and aged exclusively in Argonne oak barrels, crafted under the house’s exacting sustainability standards, it marries the finesse of Chardonnay with the subtle influence of the forest. No stainless steel, no shortcuts - only natural yeasts, lees ageing, and patient craftsmanship. The result is a Blanc de Blancs that hums with mineral tension, depth and precision, a Champagne of chalk, light, and quiet power.
