On the nose: Initially the nose is precise, expressive and refreshing, with notes of citrus and yellow fruit; floral fragrances (vine flowers, elderflowers) and pastry aromas (brioche, toast, grilled almond) follow.

Written Notes

The epitome of elegance. There is focus and length here with hints of nuts and spices, a touch of orange rind. Stone fruits. Finely balanced and lingering, this is an exceptional NV. 93.

Its wonderful to avoid Pinot Meunier in a large firms nonvintage Champagne. The nose is classically bready. The large portion of Chardonnay sticks out in the delicate, light taste. The house-style is marked. Very fine and evolved of late, thanks to up to seven-year-old reserve wines.

Symbol of the precise and elegant style of Champagne Henriot’s wines. Brut Souverain appeals with its nose of white flower and citrus fruit notes. A lively, fresh and balanced attack, with pastry, spice (vanilla) and fruity (morello cherry, candied plum) flavours. A clean and refreshing finish with great length and persistence.

A new disgorgement since Alice Tetienne's appointment as Chef du Cave. Very fragrant aromas, gun flint, jasmine, complex earthy aromas, balanced by red apple, Bosq pear, fresh fig and baked bread. The palate is honeyed, with beautiful orchard and stonefruit richness, citrus freshness, mealy nutty undertones and a hint of sea spray. THe bead is subtle, well balanced and refreshing
