Champagne Henriot

Since 1808, Champagne Henriot, one of the last independent and family-owned houses in Champagne, has pursued a tradition of excellence - a fragile balance between delicacy, intensity, and purity. For seven generations, the family has selected only the very best vineyards, concentrated on the purity of the Chardonnay and upheld the utmost respect for time in order to ensure the cuvee has an opportunity to reach it's full expression.The choices made in blending perpetuate the house style: chardonnay reigns in proportion (50%-60%). it brings finesse, elegance, richness, and freshness. Pinot noir gives essential structure. Pinot meunier contributes fruit complexity. non vintage wines may contain as many as 50 different crus in precisely orchestrated balance, with roughly 20% reserve wines. It is again Champagne Henriot's task to impart a distinct personality to it's wines. These wines, which may be a decade in age and are tasted at least every three months, comprise the house's library, guaranteeing the perpetuity of style.
