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
- WS95
- Like finely woven silk, this offers beautiful texture, sublime balance and integration. Rich apple pastry, candied orange peel, crystallized honey and dried apricot flavors are layered with hints of smoke, sea salt and toasted nut. Lovely, with a fresh, persistent finish.
- WSM94
- A 50-50 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir from grands crus in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, this emphasizes chardonnay in mature scents of golden delicious apple crisp and ripe Bosc pear. Pinot noir gives it muscle, guiding the wine’s richness toward meaty dishes like pheasant roasted with morels. Acidity zips up the finish, keeping the nutty, caramelized aspects in check. A mouthwatering wine at a delicious moment of maturity.
