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.
Tasting Notes
- V95
- An addition to the range, the MV Cuve 38 is a real knock-out. The Cuve 38 is a perpetual reserve of the house`s best Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Avize and Oger. Lifted and precise, with the cut of a jewel, the Cuve 38 impresses with its energy and tension. Lemon oil and a host of citrus-inflected notes appear first, followed by white pepper, mint and floral notes. This is one of the most understated, subtle and finessed Champagnes I have ever tasted from Henriot. Given the reserve perpetuelle, I am actually surprised by how reticent and fresh the Cuve 38 is. Tasted again two days after I first opened the magnum, the Cuve 38 remains bright, focused and wonderfully energetic. Dosage is under 5 grams/liter. Disgorged: September 2014.
