Blanc de Blancs with case from Maison Henriot is a 100% chardonnay champagne. Chardonnay made from 70-80% Grands Crus and Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs, including the villages of Mesnil sur Oger and Avize, 40% of which are reserve wines from the House. This wine is the keystone of the Henriot style, both mineral and complex. It testifies to the House's virtuosity in working with Premiers and Grands Crus, and to its history, closely linked to the great Chardonnay terroirs. This 100% Chardonnay cuvée is ready to be tasted after 4 to 5 years' rest in the cool, dark cellars of Reims, under the watchful eye of Laurent Fresnet, the Cellar Master. Henriot's Blanc de Blancs blends include a small portion of Cuvée 38. This wine, made as a perpetual reserve from 100% Grands Crus chardonnays, is exclusive to the House, expressing the quintessence of its expertise and originality.
To the eye, a pale gold color, sparkling and crystalline with a procession of fine and delicate bubbles.
To the nose, an insolent minerality and freshness. Aromas of citrus fruits and sunny white peach. A bouquet of fresh flowers, honeysuckle, orange blossom and lime blossom. Fruity notes at first with lemon, dry apricot then pastry with this characteristic touch of theirs.
In the mouth, the attack is dynamic, both ample and powerful. The note of small fresh lemon melts in notes of buttered brioche prolonged by the quince paste and the honey of acacia. A beautiful length, fresh and greedy.
Maison Henriot's Blanc de Blancs with case has a very distinctive aromatic expression and length on the palate, making it a superb aperitif champagne.
