A déguster idéalement à l'apéritif ou en début de repas sur des entrées, il sera un complice grâce à sa complexité et sa longueur, peu courantes pour un blanc de blancs.<br/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The La Vigie Group (Champagne Henriot) has been led by Gilles de Larouzière since 2015. The Henriot house, certified HVE and soon to be VDC, has set itself the goal of showcasing the potential of its vineyards: wines of pure, sensual transparency—luminous Chardonnays from great terroirs. Alice Tétienne carries on this work and continues to emphasize the environmental values of the terroirs, such as research into winemaking practices that respect the land. The range tasted is characterized by its substance and its roots. Champagnes of time, the thread and fabric of each cuvée seem destined to merge. We can only express our admiration for the level achieved by the house.

About the estate:
The Henriots, who were merchants dealing in linens and wines in the region during the 17th century, began to take an interest in champagne in the following century. The brand dates back to 1808, founded by a Champagne widow, Apolline Henriot. Remaining independent, the house flourished under Joseph Henriot, who passed away in 2015; it expanded into Burgundy (Bouchard Père et Fils, William Fèvre), Beaujolais (Villa Ponciago), and as far as Oregon. Now chaired by Gilles de Larouzière-Henriot and led by Richard Moreau, the house entrusted the cellar to Alice Tétienne, formerly of Champagne Krug, in 2020. Chardonnay plays a prominent role in Henriot champagnes.

About the estate:
Henriot is one of the few Champagne houses to have remained independent since its founding by Appoline Henriot in Reims in 1808. The house expanded rapidly internationally, particularly in Austria and the Netherlands. Despite the upheavals facing the Champagne region (phylloxera, World War I, the fall of the tsars in Russia, Prohibition in the United States…), the Henriot house weathered the storm and remained family-owned. Under the leadership of Joseph Henriot at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the house grew in prominence, largely thanks to a well-thought-out diversification strategy. Henriot thus acquired Bouchard Père et Fils in Beaune, William Fèvre in Chablis, and Villa Ponciago in Fleurie.
