About this Item
Champagne Henriot is an independent, family-owned house in Champagne. The Henriot family control roughly 35 hectares (87 acres) of vineyards, scattered around the Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. These provide around 20 percent of the company's needs, with most of the remainder supplied by regular contract growers. Chardonnay is Henriot's most important variety, and the portfolio has both a generic Blanc de Blancs wine and the premium Cuve 38, sourced exclusively from grand cru vineyards.
The Henriot family came from Lorraine originally, but moved to the Champagne region in 1640 and began to broker wines and acquire vineyards. Henriot was established in 1808 and in 1850, the business was declared the official supplier to the Imperial and Royal Court of Austria.
Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a style of Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, showcasing the elegance, finesse, and minerality of this noble grape variety. Henriot's Blanc de Blancs is a flagship wine of the house, crafted from grapes sourced from prestigious vineyard sites in the Côte des Blancs and other premier areas of Champagne.

Critics Ratings
'More focused nose and quite delicately textured. Quite long and frisky. Tastes fresher than the Brut Souverain.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Mar 2023)
