CHAMPAGNE HENRIOT
Reims, France
Founded in Reims in 1808, Champagne Henriot celebrated its 200th birthday in 2008; joining the very exclusive circle of independent 200-year old family owned and managed champagne houses.
Over the years Champagne Henriot has cultivated a unique style of its own, guided by the pursuit of the rich, pure expression of Chardonnay. Strict grape requirements enable Henriot to highlight the minerality and precision of their vineyards, while the use of malolactic fermentation, a high percentage of reserve wines in their cuvees and extended lees aging result in wines of great expression, elegance and depth. "Time is our ally and patience our secret," says Joseph Henriot. "They are the fundamental elements to our success."
Today, the Henriot family's expertise is backed not only by their storied history in Champagne but also int heir celebrated triumphs in both Burgundy and Chablis with Bouchard Pere & Fils, William Fevre and Villa Ponciago.
