Reviews & Awards

There is ample petrol character to the cool, pure and beautifully fresh nose that combines notes of citrus and yeast with those of green apple and a whiff of pain grillé. I really like the sense of tension and energy to the intense, delineated and solidly complex flavors that are supported by a firm and reasonably fine effervescence before culminating in a very dry, highly complex and superbly persistent finish. The outstanding 2008 vintage in Champagne can count another winner as this is a wine to buy and age in quantity.

The 2008 Henriot Brut Millésime is composed of its traditional cépages of fifty percent chardonnay and fifty percent pinot noir. It was aged eight years sur latte and finished with a dosage of six grams per liter. The wine is beautifully pure on the nose in the style of this lovely vintage, wafting from the glass in a blend of pear, delicious apple, brioche, a touch of almond pastry dough, lovely, chalky soil tones and a bit of orange zest in the upper register.

An elegant version, featuring expressive ripe white peach and strawberry fruit flavors, layered with biscuit, kumquat, smoky mineral and ground ginger notes. Finely knit and creamy in texture, with vibrant acidity driving the racy finish. 

Baked peach, raspberry, honey, toast and almond flavors are rich and well-knit in this elegant rosé, riding a finely detailed mousse and backed by vibrant acidity. Chalk and smoke notes underscore the palate and linger on the expressive finish.

The Brut Rosé is stunning: medium reddish pink color, very finely flavored (peach, strawberry, raspberry, pineapple, lemon, honey, toasted almond), it is smoothly textured yet crisp, with excellent balance, a long flavor evolution, and a long, harmonious finish. An outstanding wine—and the best version of it I have tasted!

A firm and creamy rosé Champagne, with rich pastry cream and sweet brioche notes followed by candied grapefruit peel, white peach and smoke accents. Offers a clean-cut, mouthwatering finish.
