2012 Henriot Brut Millésimé Champagne In Presentation Box
£69.50
“A beautifully reductive nose smoulders with hints of flint, smoke and molten candlewax but also gives glimpses of ripe stone fruit and lemon. The palate carries on in this rich vein that suggests sumptuousness but is in fact rather sculpted. Yes, this manages to present a beautifully profound, rich but utterly precise vision of the 2012 vintage that shows off freshness, sinuousness and beautiful ripeness. Still dew fresh. Lay down or enjoy now.”
95 Points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Falstaff
“Plenty of pastry aromas on the nose, and the fruit has to wait until the palate to emerge. Baked apple, clove and cinnamon with a delicious lemon-sherbet freshness. Beautifully ripe and the autolysis gives lots of ready complexity. Finishes with almost granitic complexity. Absolutely spot on! ”
17.5/20 Richard Hemming MW for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
For more than two centuries, Maison Henriot has perpetuated these precious creations which reflect the greatest moments in the history of Champagne.
Henriot Millésime is the interpretation of a singular year, the reflection of the terroir’s characteristic of that year, according to the Maison. Thus, each vintage is a unique creation, with its own selection of wines for the blend and its own specific aromatic expression. The 2012 is a blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir sourced from only the best Premier and Grand Cru sites.
Henriot Champagne was founded in 1808 under Apolline Henriot. She was the niece of the very famous Abbé Godinot, an erudite man who contributed to improvements in viticulture and the making of the Champagne wine. Apolline, an enterprising woman of great character, sold her wines both in France and became a huge success with royalty and Champagne Henriot became the favourite firstly at the Dutch court, then in Austria and Hungary. She passed on her savoir-faire to her grandson, Ernest and there the Henriot family tradition was born. From generation to generation, the House of Henriot has devoted all its talent to creating the most superb wines from grapes carefully selected from the great terroirs on the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
