Henriot

In 1808, it was Apolline Henriot, young widow of Nicolas Henriot, who founded the Champagne House. At the beginning of the 1970s, Joseph Henriot, 7th generation of the family, decided to enrich the collection of reserve wines of the Maison Henriot initiated by Apolline Henriot two centuries earlier. Since then, the Maison Henriot has perpetuated these precious creations that reflect the most beautiful moments in the history of Champagne.

All in freshness and lightness, this 2012 vintage comes from a blend of Premiers and Grands Crus from a sublime great year in Champagne. The dress is light gold and the nose is dominated by summer flowers and ripe fruits. On the palate, freshness and lightness are present with a long and silky finish. A low dosage gives it a very harmonious balance.

This year of exception, in the purest Henriot style, promises a beautiful potential of guard to this cuvée both elegant and generous which will evolve resolutely with time.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – Henriot Millésime 2012 rated 93/100.
