Henriot Brut Blanc de Blancs

Henriot Brut Blanc de Blancs is an exceptionally elegant and luminous Champagne crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes, sourced primarily from prestigious crus across the Côte des Blancs. Pouring a pale, crystalline gold with a persistent, fine mousse, it opens with an expressive bouquet of white peach, crisp green apple, and Meyer lemon, beautifully interwoven with fragrant honeysuckle, toasted brioche, and a touch of fresh butter. On the palate, this pure and expansive wine delivers a lively, chalky minerality balanced by a creamy mid-palate and vibrant acidity. The complex layers of bright citrus, subtle pastry notes, and a hint of candied ginger culminate in a remarkably fresh, precise, and long-lasting finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, pan-seared scallops, delicate sole meunière, light vegetable fritters, soft goat cheese, and fresh salmon sashimi.

A toasty edge of roasted hazelnut and subtle smoke is enmeshed with flavors of Asian pear, lemon sorbet and candied ginger in this elegant Champagne. Fresh and mouthwatering, with a finely detailed mousse. Drink now through 2023.

Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs yields up its typical crisp and mineral texture over the ripeness of the Henriot style. The Champagne is balanced, fruity with fine acidity to match and the bottling is ready to drink.

The latest rendition of Henriot's NV Blanc de Blancs is showing well, opening in the glass with notes of nectarine, citrus oil, toasted bread and light reduction. 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. This is a comparatively rich iteration of this cuvée, and it should pick up additional complexity with age. Rating : 90+
