Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The La Vigie group (Champagne Henriot) has been headed by Gilles de Larouzière since 2015. The Henriot house, which is HVE-certified and soon to be VDC-certified, has set itself the goal of affirming the potential of its vineyard: pure, sensual transparency in its luminous Chardonnay wines from great terroirs. Alice Tétienne is continuing the work and further emphasizing the environmental values of the terroirs, such as research into respectful and appropriate winemaking. The range tasted is characterized by its substance and its foundation. 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:
Established in the region in the 17th century as linen and wine merchants, the Henriot family became interested in champagne in the following century. The brand dates back to 1808, when it was launched by a widow from Champagne, Apolline Henriot. Remaining independent, the house flourished under Joseph Henriot, who passed away in 2015, expanding into Burgundy (Bouchard Père et Fils, William Fèvre), Beaujolais (Villa Ponciago) and even Oregon. Now chaired by Gilles de Larouzière-Henriot and managed by Richard Moreau, in 2020 it entrusted the keys to the cellar to Alice Tétienne, who came from Champagne Krug. Chardonnay is very present 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 Holland. Despite the upheavals facing Champagne (phylloxera, World War I, the fall of the tsars in Russia, Prohibition in the United States, etc.), Henriot has remained resilient and 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 importance, thanks in particular to a well-thought-out diversification strategy. Henriot acquired Bouchard Père et Fils in Beaune, William Fèvre in Chablis, and Villa Ponciago in Fleurie.
