Elegant medium-bodied Champagne with complex floral tones and good yeast intensity on the nose and palate, crisp, clear finish with good acid. Its golden colour tinged with light green is hemmed with a fine delicate mousse.
In Champagne the legal minimum requirement for aging in bottle of non vintage brut is 15 months. However the House of Henriot takes pride in ageing its cuvées for a much longer time. This indispensable maturing period enable the wines to develop their complexity and refinement.

What the critics think
|
|
Aromatic almost floral nose, good yeast maturity and intensity. Pretty well made, high Chardonnay, quite creamy, bright acids, long. Rating : 14.5/20
Decanter Magazine– July 2006

This is called “pur Chardonnay” on the front label. Bright gold. Deep, complex and richly scented, with charry, toasty pear and apple aromas that are pungent but finely etched, like high class white Burgundy. The texture of this Champagne is both thick and lively, a rare trick. Bright, high pitched citrus and quince flavours are framed by notes of sweet butter, smoke and dusty talc. The long palate staining finish offers a haunting maple tone. On the basis of aroma, texture and depth, I could easily have confused this wine with the current release of Dom Pérignon. Rating 91/100
