What to Expect

- The cornerstone of Henriot’s signature style showcasing minerality and complexity.

- An exciting producer with an excellent range of wines.

- 100% Chardonnay, 4 to 5 years ageing and 40% reserve wine

Initially lively, generous and powerful on the palate. The hint of fresh lemon lingers and dissolves into butter-laced brioche notes, extended further by quince paste and acacia honey. Lovely, fresh and quite delicious length on the finish.

The house sources from a mixture of grand and premier cru villages within Les Mesnil-Sur Oger, Chouilly, Avize, as well as other great villages like Vertus; Ville-Dommange and Trepail.

Food Pairings

Seared scallops with mandarin segments for pure simplicity or perhaps freshly caught sole with slightly salted butter.

About the House

Champagne Henriot was founded in 1808 and Henriot has remained a family affair since then, which is increasingly rare in Champagne. It’s important to look closely at one particular individual as his achievements define the house today. Joseph Henriot, joined the family business in 1957 and after his father’s untimely death in 1962, he took over the reins and became the energy and entrepreneurial spirit behind the rise and success of the house.

Henriot have their eyes firmly set on what they describe as ‘craftsman luxury’.

They aim to create high quality champagne to a dedicated following of Henriot Champagne lovers. They focus their energies on the chardonnay variety and apart from the brut souverain they do not use pinot meunier anywhere else.
