Champagne Henriot Brut Rosé nv

Pure, intense and elegant with delightful freshness and vivacity.  Crisp and dry with a lightness of touch which belies its complex and layered personality.  The addition of at least 1/3 old Reserve wines in the blend gives a sense of nuance and delicacy.

Red berry fruits, citrus and orange with oodles of floral and minerally hints.

50% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier.  After bottling the wine is left to rest in the cool, calm surrounds of the Henriot cellars for 3 years.

In order to maintain a consistent level of excellence across all of its house styles, the company strictly adheres to a set of very precise rules governing the growing and winemaking process. The Henriot vineyards are comprised of: 17 Grand Cru vineyards and 42 Premier Cru, using three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Plant density is limited to 7,500 – 9,000 vines per hectare and only four vine training systems are allowed: Chablis, Cordon de Royat, Guyot, Vallée de la Marne. Annual yield limits are also strictly applied – a maximum of 13,000 kg/hectare – all of which has to be manually harvested. Henriot believe that their wines should age for as long as possible, with a minimum age of 15 months for a nonvintage and three years for a vintage. A comprehensive knowledge of the parcels, together with an ability to appreciate their aromatic nuances and analyse the scope of their vintage variation, are what has defined Henriot since its founding.
