Information:

In 1880, when Paul Henriot 4th generation of the family, married Marie Marguet, from a family owner of Grands Crus in the Côte des Blancs, a new grape variety joined Maison Henriot’s vineyard: Chardonnay. In order to pay tribute to it, the Henriot family decided to make a Champagne with the same blending philosophy established by Apolline Henriot in 1808. Henriot Blanc de Blancs is thus a blend of all the vineyards planted with Chardonnay, expressed through different periods of life.


Winemaking:

Striving to enlighten the entire expression of Chardonnay, Maison Henriot crafts a Champagne with the art of blending at its core. Thus, Henriot Blanc de Blancs is a multi-vintage blend exclusievely from the Maison Henriot’s Chardonnay vineyard. Depending on the year, the proportion of these crus may vary

29 crus 

50 to 70% of wines of the year (base vintage) 

30 to 50% of reserve wines (including our blend reserve)


Description:

“A great generosity characterizes this Champagne. The diversity of wines selected in the blend offers an ample aromatic rangein which exoticism and exuberance are balanced by elegance and finesse. Multiple aromas intertwine bringing great complexity from flambé pineapple and fresh citrus fruit notes to wet chalk and subtle pastry aromas. On the palate, this Champagne has an incredible velvety texture accompanied by an extraordinary freshness.”
