The Winery
Henriot
The finest Blancs de Champagne are at the heartof the history, the vines and the very essence of Maison Henriot. The champagne house incorporates an exceptionally high proportion of Premiers and Grands Crus in its cuvées, which come from the best Chardonnay parcels.
The Henriot family nurtures a special affinity for these wines grown on soils where the chalk is purest and which gives the wines an intriguing and iodine minerality. These terroirs also convey the promise for outstanding longevity. The brilliance of this fresh and intense maturity reaches its height with the Cuve 38, an incarnation of the ultimate and virtuoso expression of these Grands Blancs de Champagne. The cuvée Blanc de Blancs, both pure and delicious, continues this pleasure.
Wines due to arrive September 2024.
Tasting Notes
- WS97
- Tight-grained, with an immediate impression of the sea before forest floor and citrus notes take over. This is bright and fresh, with plenty of spice, toast and candied berry flavors, backed by a firm structure. The finish just keeps going. Best from 2012 through 2040.
- WE97
- With all the extreme intensity of this vintage, this wine brings even more. The start of cookie yeast and toast character, a vibrant mineral texture, hints of spice, green herbs and a final white peach flavor. It is still young, just keep aging.
