Product Overview

The non-vintage Henriot Blanc de Blancs is crafted from a majority blend of grapes sourced from Premier and Grand cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, notably from the villages of Mesnil sur Oger and Avize. Reserve wines also account for at least 40% of the blend. The bouquet releases a flourish of minerality and bold freshness, together with aromas of citrus fruits and white peach. A bouquet of fresh flowers unleashes notes of honey-suckle and orange blossom, interweaved with lime flower. Fruit aromas redolent of lemon and dried apricot lead the wave, followed by pastry notes and a typical suggestion of fresh butter. It is initially lively, generous, and powerful on the palate. The hint of fresh lemon lingers and dissolves into butter-laced brioche notes, extended further by quince paste and acacia honey.

92 Points - Wine Spectator
"A toasty edge of roasted hazelnut and subtle smoke is enmeshed with flavors of Asian pear, lemon sorbet and candied ginger in this elegant Champagne. Fresh and mouthwatering, with a finely detailed mousse. Drink now through 2023. 1,500 cases imported." -AN, 11/30/20

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs yields up its typical crisp and mineral texture over the ripeness of the Henriot style. The Champagne is balanced, fruity with fine acidity to match and the bottling is ready to drink." -RV, 12/1/20

90 Points - Wine Advocate
"Aromas of lemon oil, crisp yellow apple, brioche, rock salt and dried white flowers preface the latest rendition of Henriot's NV Blanc de Blancs, a medium to full-bodied wine with an elegantly delicate mousse that's nicely concentrated, incisive and distinctly saline, concluding with a chalky finish. It's an excellent Blanc de Blancs that comes recommended. This is lot L1817911117, disgorged in November 2017 with less than eight grams per liter dosage. A year on its cork has done the wine a lot of good in terms of complexity and expressiveness." -WK, 4/30/19
