“A beautifully fine mousse indicates the class of this finely crafted wine. It has some weight, flavors of green apples, with hints of fresh apricots. There is extreme freshness here, the style dry but rich. This bottling tastes young and would be worth aging six months.” 94 Pts – Wine Enthusiast

Symbolising precision and balance, fresh and delicious in equal measure, Brut Souverain by Henriot carries the quintessential expression of the great Champagne terroirs.

THE ART OF BLENDING
The exceptionally high proportion of chardonnay (50%), balanced to perfection with pinot (45% pinot noir and 5% pinot meunier) can be thanked for the unique character of this Champagne. More than 25 cru wines from the finest Champagne terroirs in Cotes des Blancs and Montagne de Reims make up the blend, together with 30% of precious reserve wines.All these elements allow Laurent Fresnet, Cellar Master, to create the ultimate blend, and year after year recreate, with amazing consistency, this unique signature style.

Each bottle is then left to rest for more than 3 years in the cool, calm surrounds of our cellars in Reims.The Brut Souverain blend also contains a small quantity of our prestige Cuve 38 Champagne. This wine, made in the style of a perpetual reser ve crafted exclusively from Grand Cru chardonnay, is unique to the Champagne House and expresses its quintes-sential savoir-faire and originality.

THE SENSES
Straw-gold, bright and clear in appearance. A lovely bead in the glass forms a cortege of regular, delicate bubbles. On the nose, the Champagne offers magnificent, vivacious character. Citrus fruit aromas are followed by a cavalcade of floral bouquets, elderberry and vine blossom. Delicious brioche notes and the simplicity of lightly toasted bread and roasted almonds.Well balanced and harmonious on the palate, summoning flavours of brioche, together with crunchy cherries and the sun-kissed blush of white peach. Clean on the finish, with all the freshness of just-picked walnuts.

Best served at 8°C

About Champagne Henriot

Founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot, Champagne Henriot is one of the few remaining independent, family-owned houses in Champagne. Today, it is Gilles de Larouzière – 8th generation – who presides over Maisons & Domaines Henriot and strives to perpetuate the Henriot family legacy and conquer new horizons. Maison Henriot’s independence allows the wine-making team to focus on quality over quantity, and to devote the extra time and attention needed when using grapes from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, thus creating truly exceptional cuvées. Champagne Henriot Cellar Master is Alice Tétienne.
