Henriot – Champagne Brut Millésime – 2008
Among the best labels in the production, the Millésime Champagnes are the most qualitative range where the peculiarities of the vintage are enhanced to the individual detail. Of Brut dosage, composed of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay with grapes from 10 different Premier and Grand Cru plots in a blend with enormous evolutionary capacity. Selected grapes fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks with malolactic fermentation performed in barrels, followed by aging on the lees a minimum of 60 months before disgorgement. A bewitching bubble, thanks to the 2008 vintage that turned out to be extraordinary, citric and floral aromas with incredible drinkability, mineral on the palate and long on the finish for harmonious balance. There could be no better way to celebrate 200 years of history.

Description
Unquestionable charm that of Maison Henriot today, among the oldest in the region in bubbly production and still independently family-owned with no external ties. It was founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot in Reims eager to pay homage to her region by producing sought-after and refined Champagnes, a legacy passed down over time to future generations (eight so far with current owner Joseph Henriot) allowing the business to expand and grow. The winery owns about 30 hectares divided between the mountain of Reims and the Cote de Blanc with parcels in some of the most important crus where they grow Pinot Noir in the former (Verzenay, Avenay, ect.) and Chardonnay in the latter (Chouilly, Oger, ect.) in addition to a tiny part of Pinot Meunier. A work dedicated to the search for the greatest expression, study and care of the terroir in an organic way, vineyards vinified separately and thanks to today’s winemaker Laurent Fresnet the realization of territorial cuvées and Vin de reserve resulting from blends from the best past vintages. Genuine French Know-how.
