History

At the beginning of the 20th century Lon Giraud, a veteran of the Battle of the Marne, married a young lady Hmart. He rebuilt the familys magnificent vineyard that had just been devastated by phylloxera and First World War. Claude Giraud, 12th generation of the Giraud-Hmart family, today presides over the destiny of this Champagne House.
