Product Description
Champagne Henriot was officially founded in 1808 by Appoline Henriot. She was the niece of the very famous Abbé Godinot, an erudite man who contributed greatly to improvements in viticulture and sparkling winemaking. At the end of the 19th century, the phylloxera plague reached the vineyards of Champagne. The House of Henriot was one of the first to reconstitute vineyards with grafted stock. Henriot cultivates a very particular style, the pursuit of perfection. It chooses the best wines from the best Crus demanding the most careful work in the vineyard and from the cellar workers. ?In addition to its own vineyards, Henriot purchases grapes from growers in the best terroirs. Pinot Noir from Verzy, Verzenay, Avenay, Mareuil and Mailly. Chardonnay from Chouilly, Oger, Avize, Mesnil, Vertus and Cramant. Each year, about a third of reserve wines are incorporated in the Cuvée, ensuring the consistency of the Henriot style.
The colour is golden, bright and brilliant, with hues of lime green and verbena. This youthfulness is boosted by fine, bountiful effervescence, whose beads seem to bedeck the wine. The bouquet starts mature, with an aroma of hazelnut and caramel, and leads us champagne lovers to a flower bouquet of gilly-flower, peonies. mock-orange and honeysuckle. The elegance of the palate is set off by a creamy froth, revealing an aroma of liquorice and citrus fruit, passing by mint. But the maturity expressed by spices, toast or even mocha draws us into the whirl of complexity and richness of the great cuvees.
