Description
Champagne Henriot Blanc de Blancs Brut NV is a masterclass in the art of Chardonnay based Champagne. It is a wonderful blend of minerality and freshness. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, lively acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a saline finish.
Henriot’s savoire-faire, multiple award winner and the perfect gift this Christmas! Comprised of 70-80% Premier and Grand Cru with a small portion of Henriot’s Perpetual Reserve. IWC Gold 2022
Reviews
***95-100 Points Falstaff***
Incredible and immediate florality hovers above notes of ripe lemon peel and luminous Mirabelle plum. The palate presents purest chalkiness, inherent coolness and soothing, salty depth. Wonderful.
***16.5/20 Points Jancis Robinson***
This constitutes 20% of Henriot's production and contains 12 crus representing 'lots of different facets of Chardonnay' according to chef de cave Alice Tétienne, who says she is seeking 'maturity but freshness'. Richer Chardonnays than usual in 2016, which provided the base wine with 32% reserve wine. This was originally called Blanc Souverain.
More focused nose and quite delicately textured. Quite long and frisky. Tastes fresher than the Brut Souverain.
